SO OVER THE YEARS, OUR STUDENTS LEARN DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS SO THAT HOPEFULLY THEY'RE LEAVING JOHNSON WITH A VARIETY OF INSTRUMENTS UNDER THEIR BELT.

IN 3RD GRADE, THEY LEARN THE UKULELE, THEY LEARN SOME PERCUSSIONS, AND THEN THEY HAVE A CROWD FAVORITE CUPS.

[4. RECOGNITIONS]

WE WERE GOING TO RECOGNIZE TONIGHT THE DRAGON SUPER SUBSTITUTE OF THE MONTH.

MISS WILLIAMS, YOU'RE UP. ALL RIGHT, SO COME ON UP.

TONIGHT, I'M HONORED TO RECOGNIZE OUR RJS SUPER SUBSTITUTE, WHO REALLY IS JUST A PART OF OUR STAFF, MISS LACEY WHITT. OR AS HER STUDENTS KNOW, HER.

MISS LACEY. MRS. WHITT CARES DEEPLY FOR EACH OF HER STUDENTS AND CONSISTENTLY GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND TO SUPPORT THEM ACADEMICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY.

HER CLASSROOM RUNS SMOOTHLY BECAUSE OF HER PATIENCE, KNOWLEDGE, AND CALM LEADERSHIP, AND HER STUDENTS FEEL SAFE, SUPPORTED, AND VALUED EVERY DAY. LACEY DOESN'T HAVE TO BE HERE. SHE CHOOSES TO BE HERE.

SHE'S BEEN HERE LITERALLY ALL YEAR, I THINK BECAUSE SHE LOVES KIDS AND SHE LOVES JOHNSON.

SHE STEPPED INTO A LONG TERM KINDERGARTEN ROLE IN OCTOBER.

I'M THINKING IT MIGHT JUST BE 1 MONTH. AND IT WAS 2, AND THEN IT WAS 3.

AND THEN NOW HERE WE ARE FINISHING STRONG. SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF OUR TEAM.

BEYOND HER WORK WITH STUDENTS, LACEY HAS BEEN A POSITIVE AND COLLABORATIVE ADDITION TO OUR KINDERGARTEN TEAM. SHE'S SERVANT HEARTED, ALWAYS WILLING TO LEND A HAND, SHARE IDEAS, AND SUPPORT OTHERS WHENEVER NEEDED. HER STEADY PRESENCE HAS BROUGHT COMFORT TO HER STUDENTS, BUT ALSO TO HER TEAMMATES.

DURING A VERY DIFFICULT SEASON ON THAT TEAM, HER TEAMMATES SHARED HOW GRATEFUL THEY ARE FOR THE CONSISTENCY AND LOVE THAT LACEY

[00:10:04]

AND I KNOW I SPEAK ON BEHALF OF OUR ENTIRE CAMPUS WHEN I SAY THAT WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE LACEY AS A PART OF OUR FAMILY.

TONIGHT, IT'S MY PRIVILEGE TO RECOGNIZE MISS LACEY WHITT AS OUR SUPER SUBSTITUTE.

LACEY, YOUR DEDICATION AND COMPASSION HAVE MADE A LASTING IMPACT ON OUR STUDENTS, OUR STAFF, AND OUR SCHOOL.

THANK YOU FOR LOVING OUR DRAGONS SO WELL. [APPLAUSE] CONGRATULATIONS.

AND THANK YOU, MISS WILLIAMS. OUR NEXT RECOGNITION IS ITEM 4.3, AND THAT IS THE CARROLL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ALL STATE CHOIR STUDENT, MISS LEVIE. GOOD EVENING. I'M CASEY LEVIE, THE DIRECTOR OF CHOIRS FOR CARROLL ISD AND THE HEAD CHOIR DIRECTOR AT CARROLL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

TONIGHT IT IS MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE 2 INCREDIBLE YOUNG WOMEN WHO EARNED THE HONOR OF BEING A PART OF THE 2026 TEXAS MUSIC EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION ALL-STATE CHOIRS.

THE AUDITION PROCESS TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE ALL-STATE CHOIRS BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER OF 2025, WHEN OVER 17,000 HIGH SCHOOL MUSICIANS ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS FIRST AUDITIONED, MANY OF WHOM HAD BEEN WORKING ON THE AUDITION MUSIC SINCE JUNE.

OUR CARROLL STUDENTS INCLUDED. AFTER FOUR RIGOROUS ROUNDS OF AUDITIONS FROM SEPTEMBER TO JANUARY, 2 OF OUR CARROLL CHOIR STUDENTS WERE AMONG THE TOP 12 SINGERS IN OUR AREA AND AMONG THE TOP 500 SINGERS OUT OF 17,000 IN THE STATE OF TEXAS IN THE STATE.

WITH MY HIGH SCHOOL EARNING PLACEMENT IN THE ALL-STATE TREBLE CHOIR AND EARNING PLACEMENT IN THE ALL-STATE MIXED CHOIR.

ADT IS NOW A 2 YEAR ALL-STATER, HAVING MADE THE ALL-STATE TREBLE CHOIR LAST YEAR.

BOTH OF THESE STUDENTS HAD A FANTASTIC WEEK OF REHEARSALS JUST 2 WEEKS AGO.

DINNER'S ON THE SAN ANTONIO RIVER WALK. SOME GOOD ROAD TRIP.

TALK WITH ME. AND THEY GOT TO PERFORM IN A REALLY BEAUTIFUL CONCERT SATURDAY IN THEIR CULMINATION OF ALL THE WORK THAT THEY DID WITH THESE OUTSTANDING CLINICIANS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE AUDITION PROCESS. CAROL CHOIRS ALSO MAINTAINED 1 OF THE HIGHEST RETENTION RATES ACROSS THE DFW METROPLEX OF ADVANCING STUDENTS FROM EACH ROUND, WITH A 16% RETENTION RATE BY THE FINAL ROUND.

ADITI AND MAESTRO HAVE NOT ONLY WORKED INCREDIBLY HARD, BUT HAVE WORKED RELENTLESSLY WHILE BALANCING ALL OF THEIR ACADEMIC OBLIGATIONS AND EXTRACURRICULAR RESPONSIBILITIES. ONE OF THEM COMING FROM 1 AFTER REHEARSAL, 1 OF THEM GOING TO AN ENGINEERING AWARD CEREMONY AFTER THIS.

WE ARE SO, SO PROUD OF THEM. AND THE HONOR THAT THIS BRINGS TO OUR PROGRAM.

THEY EARNED THIS PRESTIGIOUS ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT ONLY A SELECT FEW ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS CAN CLAIM.

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN TO ADITI AND MAISHA FOR REPRESENTING CAROL CHOIRS AS MEMBERS OF THE 2026 TEXAS ALL-STATE CHOIRS.

CONGRATULATIONS.[APPLAUSE] YOU GUYS CAN STICK AROUND.

WE'LL GET A PICTURE AFTER WE RECOGNIZE EVERYBODY.

NEXT UP ON OUR SCHEDULE IS ITEM 4.4. AND THAT IS THE 6TH ANNUAL ROBOTICS STATE RUNNER UP, MISS SCHWEDLER.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE. WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THESE ROBOTICS TEAMS THIS YEAR.

WE'VE HAD A GRAND TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE AT THE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, AND THESE GUYS AND GALS HAVE RISEN TO THE OCCASION.

AND I'M REALLY PROUD THAT THEY'VE BEEN VERY COMPETITIVE AT EVERY TOURNAMENT THAT WE'VE BEEN TO THROUGH THE SEASON, AND THEN HAD A GREAT DAY OF COMPETITION AT UIL.

CAME HOME RUNNERS UP, BUT WE'RE EXTREMELY PROUD OF WHAT THEY DID THAT DAY.

ALSO, THE TEAMS ARE COMPETING THIS SATURDAY AT THE REGIONAL TOURNAMENT, AND THIS IS WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO QUALIFY FOR THE VEX ROBOTICS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, WHICH IS GOING TO BE IN APRIL.

SO THEY'VE DONE SOME REALLY AWESOME THINGS THIS YEAR SO FAR.

AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING FOR THEM TO BE EQUALLY AMAZING THIS WEEKEND AS WELL.

SO THANK YOU TO THE BOARD FOR SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS AND OUR TEAMS. I ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. ANDREW BLUNT IS OUR ASSISTANT COACH THIS YEAR FOR ROBOTICS.

AND IT'S BEEN A GREAT HELP HAVING HIM AS PART OF THE PROGRAM AS WELL.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND REALLY PROUD OF ALL OF THESE STUDENTS.

[APPLAUSE] CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU ALL. IF YOU'LL STICK AROUND, WE'LL HAVE 1 MORE RECOGNITION WHEN WE GET SOME PICTURES. OKAY.

NEXT UP ON THE AGENDA IS OUR LAST RECOGNITION OF THE EVENING.

ITEM 4.5, WHICH IS. OUR WRESTLING TEAM HAD A WONDERFUL YEAR THIS YEAR.

COACH HATHAWAY. THANKS FOR HAVING US. WE HAD

[00:15:08]

WE HAD 2 STATE CHAMPIONS THAT ARE HERE TODAY, KEEGAN SHIRAKI AND DYLAN ODA.

KEEGAN WON HIS 2ND STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AND DYLAN WON HIS 3RD STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.[APPLAUSE] DYLAN WAS ALSO VOTED THE STATE OUTSTANDING WRESTLER.

IT'S THE 1ST TIME IN PROGRAM OR 1ST TIME IN OUR SCHOOL HISTORY THAT THAT'S EVER ANYBODY'S EVER WON THAT AWARD.

SO PRETTY, PRETTY COOL HONOR. WE HAD 8 STATE QUALIFIERS ON THE BOYS SIDE AND 1 STATE QUALIFIER ON THE GIRLS SIDE.

3 STATE FINALISTS WERE WE'RE MISSING 1 STATE FINALIST WHO'S ON A COLLEGE VISIT? LUKE BERGER. AND THEN OUR GIRLS STATE QUALIFIER WAS ALSO REGIONAL CHAMP.

CORA HAYES. IS ALSO ON A COLLEGE VISIT. SO THEY'RE THEY'RE OFF LOOKING AT WRESTLING AT THE NEXT LEVEL.

SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. AND AND THEN WE'VE GOT WE HAD A GREAT TEAM.

LIKE I SAID, WE HAD 9, 9 TOTAL, 8 BOYS AND 1 GIRL THAT QUALIFIED FOR STATE WON THE BOYS WON THEIR 12TH CONSECUTIVE DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP.

AND TOOK WERE STATE RUNNER UP AT THE STATE DUAL TOURNAMENT AND LIKE I SAID, TOOK 3RD AT THE UIL STATE TOURNAMENT.

SO IT WAS A GREAT GREAT ALL AROUND, PERFORMANCE BY EVERYBODY.

AND GOT A LOT OF KIDS THAT ARE COMING BACK AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE ABOUT THE FUTURE.

COACH, YOU HAD A REMARKABLE SEASON. YOU ALSO GOT AN AWARD, CORRECT.

TELL US ABOUT THAT. YES. I WAS INDUCTED INTO THE TEXAS WRESTLING HALL OF HONOR.[APPLAUSE] YEAH, YEAH. AND COACH SALAZAR, DISTRICT ASSISTANT COACH OF THE YEAR. COACH HADDOCK WAS THE REGIONAL ASSISTANT REGIONAL ASSISTANT COACH OF THE YEAR.

[00:21:04]

ALL RIGHT.[APPLAUSE] GOOD JOB. THANK YOU.

CONGRATULATIONS.

WELL DONE. WELL DONE.

VERY GOOD. YEAH. OKAY.[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU.

THANKS SO MUCH. CONGRATULATIONS.

YEAH. NO KIDDING. THANKS.

OH, YEAH. THAT'S MORE LIKE IT. EMPTY. THEIR SEATS.

THANK YOU FOR COMING. ALL RIGHT. OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS PUBLIC COMMENTS.

[5. PUBLIC COMMENTS]

MISS YELTON, WILL YOU PLEASE CALL THE 1ST SPEAKER? THE 1ST SPEAKER AND ONLY SPEAKER IS MR. TIM SCHULTZ. I DIDN'T THINK I SCARED EVERYBODY OFF.

YOU CLEARED THE ROOMS. I CLEARED THE ROOM. THAT HAPPENS.

MY NAME IS TIM SCHULTZ. I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF SOUTHLAKE FOR 40 YEARS.

DOCTOR GLENN PRESIDENT AND BOARD, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED COMMITMENT IN KEEPING OUR SCHOOLS PHYSICALLY SAFE, INCLUDING INVESTMENT IN THE NEW SECURITY BUILDING AT THE SENIOR HIGH.

HOWEVER, WHY WILL YOU WORK HARD TO KEEP THREATS OUTSIDE OUR BUILDINGS? WE ARE DOING FAR LESS TO ADDRESS THE CRISIS INSIDE THEM, 1 THAT CONTINUES TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON OUR STUDENTS MENTAL HEALTH TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ALIGNED, CURRENT POLICY AND STATE LAW ALLOWS STUDENTS TO BRING DEVICES TO SCHOOL, BUT REQUIRE THEM TO BE POWERED OFF, STORED OUT OF SIGHT FROM THE FIRST BELL TO DISMISSAL, INCLUDING CLASS, LUNCH, PASSING PERIODS, AND EVEN THE SCHOOL BUSSES.

THIS LAW IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, BUT BASED ON MY OWN OBSERVATION AND CONVERSATIONS WITH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS, ENFORCEMENT ACROSS THE DISTRICT APPEARS INCONSISTENT AT BEST.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE REPORT DETAILING ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES AND THE NUMBER OF VIOLATIONS SINCE WE BEGAN THE SCHOOL YEAR.

[00:25:04]

TO BE CLEAR, PHONE IS USE IS DOWN IN THE CLASSROOMS AND MOST TEACHERS DESERVE CREDIT FOR DOING IT.

BUT DURING LUNCH, DURING PASSING PERIODS, PHONES ARE EVERYWHERE.

OFTEN IN PLAIN SIGHT, WITH TEACHERS WALKING BY NOT SAYING A THING.

THOSE MOMENTS MATTER BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHEN STUDENTS ARE MOST VULNERABLE TO SOCIAL PRESSURES AND CONSISTENT DIGITAL STIMULATION.

WE MUST DO BETTER. NO RESEARCH IS OBSERVING THE OPPOSITE OF THIS.

I APPRECIATE THE WORK MISS PETIT IS DOING TO REDUCE UNNECESSARY SCREEN TIME.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT FOR OVER A YEAR. THAT EFFORT IS CRITICAL, AND I ENCOURAGE THE DISTRICT TO CONTINUE PUSHING IN THAT DIRECTION.

WE MUST ADDRESS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. AS OF TODAY, I COULD NOT FIND A SINGLE DOCUMENT ON AI IN THE CISD WEBSITE. I DID NOT SEE IT IN A 5 YEAR PLAN ITEM.

FINALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MR. STEWART, WHO IS TALKING LATER TODAY, BUT BYOD DEVICES CAN BE TRICKED.

JUST LIKE PHONES. THEY ACT LIKE PHONES. THEY ARE PHONES.

WE NEED TO FIX THAT PROBLEM. IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK ON ALL STUDENT DEVICES.

IF WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT STUDENT SAFETY, WE MUST RECOGNIZE THAT MENTAL HEALTH IS JUST AS ESSENTIAL TO SECURITY AS LOCKED DOORS.

3 TIMES MORE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS COMMIT SUICIDE THAN GET SHOT AT A SCHOOL SHOOTING.

AS YOU KNOW, CISD IS TRULY SUCCEED. WHEN MY DAUGHTER COMES HOME AND SAYS, DAD, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BYOB MACBOOK DEVICE? THANK YOU FOR THE TIME. THANK YOU SIR. ALL RIGHT.

[6. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON PERSONNEL REPORT]

CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON PERSONNEL REPORT TRUSTEE YEAGER.

I MOVE THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE PERSONNEL REPORT AS PRESENTED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. THANK YOU.

[7. PRESIDENT'S REPORT]

WE'LL START WITH ITEM 7.1, WHICH IS COMMITTEE REPORTS.

TRUSTEE STACEY, I KNOW THAT YOU HAD 1. I HAVE 2.

WE HAD OUR DISTRICT ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING ON FEBRUARY 10TH, AND WE APPRECIATE ALL OF OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS.

I FEEL LIKE THAT'S A LARGE ONE. SO WE REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S INPUT.

OUR AGENDA FOR THIS PARTICULAR SESSION WAS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

I ALIGN DAYS AND OUR INSTRUCTIONAL LEAD LEARNERS ON THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL AND ELEMENTARY LEVEL, AND OUR DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN. WE SPENT PROBABLY MOST OF THE TIME ON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND REALLY ENGAGING THE COMMITTEE ON WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR NOW IN TERMS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. AND THEN WE REALLY TALKED ABOUT THE EYE LINE DAYS WITH WITH OUR INSTRUCTIONAL LEAD LEARNERS.

REALLY JUST TRYING TO TAKE A DEEP DIVE ON ARE THE EYE LINE DAYS ACTUALLY DOING WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.

OR DO WE WANT TO, YOU KNOW, DO WE WANT TO LOOK AT SOMETHING DIFFERENT? AND THE COMMITTEE WAS KIND OF UNANIMOUS.

AND THEY REALLY LOVED WHEN WE DID DISTRICT DAYS OF LEARNING, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE DID A LITTLE WHILE BACK.

AND SO I KNOW AFTER THIS YEAR WE JUST HAD AN EYE LINE DAY.

THEY'RE GOING TO START LOOKING AT THAT ON THE DISTRICT DAYS OF LEARNING AND HOW TO KIND OF INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE DAY AND WHAT IS BENEFICIAL VERSUS WHAT ISN'T.

SO THAT WAS A GREAT MEETING, REALLY TRYING TO GET TO THE ROOT OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.

FOR THE DISTRICT. AND THEN ON THE 17TH OF THIS MONTH, WE HAD OUR SPECIAL PROGRAMS MEETING, AND WE WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT KIND OF 2 GOALS THAT WE'RE GOING FOR AS WE'RE KIND OF COMING TO THE END OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

GOAL 1, OBJECTIVE 3 IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT OUR, OUR COMPLIANCE.

AND WE ARE STILL 100% COMPLIANT WITH TEA, WHICH IS GREAT.

WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THIS WAS NOT PART OF STRATEGIC PLANNING, BUT WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT VOUCHERS AS MISS PARSONS HERE.

AND SO I MAY JUST HAVE YOU COME UP HERE REALLY QUICK AND TALK TALK ABOUT YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A NEW LAW THAT TALKS ABOUT VOUCHERS AND GETTING THEM EVALUATED.

AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED TO COME UP HERE AND JUST KIND OF GIVE A LITTLE BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT THAT ACTUALLY LOOKING LIKE FOR ALL OF THE DISTRICTS ACROSS TEXAS.

YES. THANK YOU. SO WHAT IT'S CALLED, IT'S CALLED THE TEFA.

IT'S WHAT A NEW ACRONYM AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS BECAUSE WE NEEDED 1 MORE.

AND IT'S THE TEXAS EDUCATION FREEDOM ACCOUNTS.

SO THAT IS WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE VOUCHER. SO WHAT HOW WE ARE INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS.

THE VOUCHER IS $10,000 FOR PER STUDENT. BUT IF THE STUDENT HAS A DISABILITY THEY CAN GET UP TO $30,000.

AND SO THAT COULD BE IN TURN SENT TO THE PRIVATE SCHOOL.

[00:30:02]

SO IF THEY'RE IN A PRIVATE SCHOOL AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL, OFTENTIMES THEY DON'T HAVE THAT EVALUATION REPORT THAT YOU DO IF YOU ATTEND A PUBLIC SCHOOL. SO PARENTS ARE CONTACTING US SAYING THEY WOULD LIKE THEIR CHILD EVALUATED.

AND IT IS OUR DUTY TO DO THAT EVALUATION. WE HAVE 45 SCHOOL DAYS TO COMPLETE THAT EVALUATION.

THAT'S PART OF FEDERAL LAW. AND THEN WE HAVE 30 DAYS CALENDAR DAYS TO HAVE AN INITIAL FI, I MEAN IEP MEETING. THE WHAT WE CALL THE ARD MEETING. AND SO EXCUSE ME THE THE WINDOW TO APPLY FOR THE TEFA MONEY. IT WAS OPENED FEBRUARY 4TH.

4TH. THANK YOU. AND IT CLOSES ON MARCH 17TH. WELL, IT IS SOMETIMES NOT ALIGNING WITH THOSE 45 SCHOOL DAYS. AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF MISINFORMATION AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS BETWEEN FAMILIES AND AND US RIGHT NOW. ON WHEN WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT ALL COMPLETED.

SO DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? IT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT.

WE MAY NEED TO DO ANOTHER TAKE ACTION. DRAGONS HERE.

COMING UP. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WHEN WHEN LAWS GET PASSED, THEY DON'T REALLY IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ALIGNING WITH THE WINDOWS THAT WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE.

AND SO WITH THE APPLICATIONS COMING DUE AND WE STILL HAVE THE 45 DAYS, IT'S REALLY IT'S MISSING.

WE'RE MISSING SOME OPPORTUNITY. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. AND MISS PARSONS, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. THIS IS ALSO AN UNFUNDED MANDATE BY THE STATE TO WE RECEIVE A SMALL REIMBURSEMENT, BUT NOT NEARLY ENOUGH TO COVER OUR DISTRICT'S EXPENSES.

EXACTLY. THE EVALUATORS THAT ARE COMPLETING THESE EVALUATIONS ARE HIGHLY TRAINED, VERY WELL EDUCATED PEOPLE.

AND WE ARE IN TEXAS ARE IN A SHORTAGE OF DIAGNOSTICIANS SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS, SPEECH PATHOLOGISTS, AND THEY'RE HARD TO HIRE. AND SO WE THE STATE IS PROVIDING DISTRICTS $1,000 PER INITIAL EVALUATION.

BUT IF YOU IF I REALLY SAT DOWN AND SAW EXACTLY HOW MUCH IT WAS COSTING THE DISTRICT TO PROVIDE THIS EVALUATION, IT'S MUCH MORE. WELL, THAT DOESN'T START TILL NEXT YEAR, RIGHT? WE DON'T GET IT RIGHT NOW. WE'LL GET THAT NEXT YEAR.

SO NO. SO THANK THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT. OKAY.

SO THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. SO WE MAY WANT TO LOOK AT ANOTHER TAKE ACTION DRAGONS HERE PRETTY SOON.

CAN I SPEAK ON THAT. YES PLEASE. SO THE GOOD NEWS IS WE MAY NOT NEED TO DO A FULL TAKE ACTION.

DRAGONS. MISS PARSONS DID A GREAT JOB. WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY TO SHARE HOW IT WAS SHOWING UP FOR DISTRICTS AND TO KIND OF HELP THEM UNDERSTAND.

SO THEY'RE GOING BACK AND LOOKING AT THINGS. SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE SOME DIRECTION COMING UP, BUT WE'LL CONTINUE TO PARTNER AND SEE IF WE CAN CREATE CHANGE, WHICH IS GREAT. BUT AGAIN, WE STILL HAVE 100% COMPLIANCE ON OUR WINDOW THAT WE HAVE THAT 45 DAYS AND THEN 30 DAYS. SO WE'RE STILL 100% COMPLIANT THERE.

AND THEN WE ENDED UP HAVING TO CHANGE. WHEN MISS PARSONS CAME IN, WE HAD TO CHANGE 1.3.2, BECAUSE WHAT WE HAD ON THERE FROM OUR STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN WAS NOT A MEASURED GROWTH OUTCOME.

SO WE CHANGED IT TO WHERE IT WAS A MEASURED GROWTH OUTCOME. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL REMEMBER THAT. AND SO WE THE MAP, OUR NEW MAP TESTING HAS BECOME VERY VALUABLE ESPECIALLY IN OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE WHEN WE GOT WE NOW HAVE OUR BEGINNING OF THE YEAR EVALUATIONS.

AND FROM GETTING THAT, WE CAN ACTUALLY PINPOINT TO THE TEAC WHAT IS GOING ON.

WE CAN ALIGN ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE GRADE LEVEL.

AND THIS IS FOR OUR TEACHERS TOO, BECAUSE WE DID TALK ABOUT THIS IN OUR DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE. THE RESULTS OF THAT ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE VERY BENEFICIAL FOR OUR TEACHERS.

BEING ABLE TO REALLY PINPOINT IF THERE'S SOMETHING BEING MISSED OR SOMETHING THAT WE'RE DOING WELL.

AND SO IT WAS REALLY EXCITING TO BE ABLE TO GO OVER THAT PARTICULAR GROWTH MEASURE FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR IN SPECIAL EDUCATION.

AND OUR KIDS ARE DOING REALLY GREAT, AND OUR STAFF IS DOING REALLY GREAT.

BUT IT'S GOING TO HELP US GET BETTER IN SOME DIFFERENT AREAS.

SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU.

TRUSTEE STACY, IS THAT IT? PRESIDENT BRIAN, I HAVE TO.

THE FIRST ONE BEING THE POLICY REVIEW COMMITTEE.

TRUSTEE REESE AND I BOTH SERVE ON THAT COMMITTEE.

WE HAD A REALLY GOOD ATTENDANCE. IT'S A PRETTY LARGE COMMITTEE.

MR.. NICOLE FACILITATED THE DISCUSSION. THE TWO TOPICS THAT WE COVERED WERE MOBILE DEVICE PRACTICES.

[00:35:04]

AND ALTHOUGH WE'VE MADE A HUGE AMOUNT OF PROGRESS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW CONTROVERSIAL IT IS.

YOU KNOW THAT STUDENTS CAN'T USE DEVICES DURING THE YEAR.

THERE'S MORE WE CAN DO ALL THE TIME. 1 OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT THE THE LAW REQUIRES IS THAT FROM BELL TO BELL, YOU CAN'T USE IT. WE WENT A LITTLE BEYOND JUST BELL TO BELL.

AND WE ACTUALLY SAID, YOU CAN'T USE DEVICES ON THE BUSSES AS YOU'RE BEING TRANSPORTED.

AND THE COMMITTEE HAD SOME DISCUSSION BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME LATITUDE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT WE REQUIRE THAT THE INTENTION OF THE LAW IS REALLY DURING INSTRUCTIONAL TIME NOT TO HAVE THOSE DISTRACTIONS. AND SO THE COMMITTEE I'M SURE THERE'LL BE A FORMAL RECOMMENDATION COME BACK LATER, BUT SAID MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T DO IT ON THE BUSSES BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT REALLY DOING INSTRUCTIONAL TIME.

SO WE CAN CONSIDER THAT IN THE FUTURE. LET ME ASK YOU A REAL QUICK TRUSTEE.

AND MAYBE FOR DOCTOR GLENN. HOW DOES THAT WORK? SO THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WE CHANGE OUR POLICY.

IS THAT GOING TO GO TO THE DISTRICT? AND THEN YOU GUYS DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO BRING IT TO THE BOARD? NO, I MEAN, IF IF IT'S A RECOMMENDATION OF THE POLICY COMMITTEE WE'LL WE'LL WORK WITH LEGAL TO, TO REFINE WHAT THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE WOULD LOOK LIKE.

AND THEN WE WOULD BRING IT TO THE BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YEAH. THE 2ND POLICY ITEM THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WAS DIGITAL ASSIGNMENTS AND EVEN TESTS, AND THERE'S SOME FRUSTRATION WITH PARENTS THAT THE TEST, WHEN IT GETS GRADED, IT JUST IS RIGHT OR WRONG. YOU KNOW, THE QUESTIONS ARE RIGHT OR WRONG, AND THERE'S NOT REALLY COMMENTS MADE ON THE DIGITAL VERSIONS.

AND SO PARENTS KIND OF WANT SOME MORE FEEDBACK FOR THEIR STUDENTS AND STUDENTS ABOUT WHY THEY GOT A QUESTION WRONG OR COMMENTS.

AND I THINK THE DISTRICT'S GOING TO LOOK AT WAYS THAT MAYBE THEY CAN IMPROVE THAT PROCESS.

LET ME STOP YOU THERE, BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WE HAD MADE SIGNIFICANT STRIDES IN MOVING TO PAPER AND PENCIL ON TESTING AFTER TESTS, I NEVER. YEAH. IT'S JUST SEMESTER TEST, SO. YEAH.

OKAY. AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TRUSTEE LANE, AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST THE ROUTINE ASSIGNMENTS.

YEAH. STUDENTS AND AND PARENTS. I KIND OF WANT TO HAVE MORE FEEDBACK ABOUT WHY THEY GOT A QUESTION WRONG.

AND AND THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW TIMELY THE TEST AND ASSIGNMENTS GET TURNED BACK, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IF TOO MUCH TIME GOES BY, THEN IT, YOU KNOW, IT JUST GETS LOST IN THE MIX.

BUT DISTRICTS ARE GOING TO COME BACK AND TELL US IF THERE'S WAYS THEY CAN MAKE IMPROVEMENTS.

THE 2ND COMMITTEE WAS SHAC. SO THAT'S THE STUDENT HEALTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

TRUSTEE YEAGER AND I BOTH SERVE ON THAT COMMITTEE, AND WE WERE THERE.

MISS PATTY AND MR. NICHOL FACILITATED IT. THERE WERE 2 STAFF IN ATTENDANCE AND MADE PRESENTATIONS.

BRANDI STEWART AND LINDSAY, COCKENZIE AND BRANDI.

THEY MAINLY TALKED ABOUT TRAINING, AND WE DO A LOT OF TRAINING, AND A LOT OF IT IS REQUIRED BY LAW.

AND JUST TO KIND OF GO THROUGH WHAT BRANDI TALKED ABOUT WAS MOSTLY WHAT WE WOULD CALL LIKE PHYSICAL RELATED TRAINING.

SO STOP THE BLEED IS OUR PROGRAM ON IF SOMEBODY GETS A CUT, HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET A TOURNIQUET OR THEY GET THE BLOOD TO STOP ASTHMA.

WE, YOU KNOW, OFFER ALBUTEROL AND EPINEPHRINE AS YOU KNOW WAYS TO TREAT THOSE THINGS AND TRAINING ON HOW TO USE THOSE TOOLS, HANDS ON, HANDS ONLY CPR AND ALSO A NEW REQUIREMENT THAT HB 7908 BROUGHT, WHICH WAS TRAINING REQUIRED FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

AND MISS MACKENZIE COVERED 4 TYPES OF WHAT ARE BASICALLY MENTAL HEALTH RELATED TRAINING.

SO WE REQUIRE THE LAW REQUIRES THAT ALL STAFF BE TRAINED, ALL STAFF THAT INTERACT WITH STUDENTS BE TRAINED ON KIND OF SIGNS FOR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. I KNOW WE TALK ABOUT IT ON A REGULAR BASIS, BUT THERE'S A REALLY COOL PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE CALLED THE HOPE SQUAD.

IT'S TO TEACH MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS HOW TO IDENTIFY IF A STUDENT IS, YOU KNOW, POTENTIALLY CONSIDERING SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS SUICIDE. AND THERE THAT PROGRAM, THE STUDENTS, THEY NOMINATE THEIR PEERS, AND THEN THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO GET NOMINATED, THEY GET SOME SPECIAL TRAINING. AND I GUESS THE ONE LAST TRAINING AGAIN, WAS ON ITS SB 9 ON PREVENTION OF VIOLENCE AND SEX TRAFFICKING. AND SO IT REALLY INFORMATIVE, REALLY GOOD MEETINGS IN BOTH CASES.

AND WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO THE DISTRICT MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT CONSTANT IMPROVEMENTS.

THANK YOU TRUSTEE. THANK YOU. 3 FOR FOR BEING AT THOSE.

DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER COMMITTEE REPORTS? I HAVE THE STUDENT AND STAFF TRUSTEE.

SO THERE WERE 3 STRATEGIC IMPERATIVES THAT WE LOOKED AT.

THE FIRST WAS CREATING OPPORTUNITIES THAT DEVELOP RESILIENCE AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION.

[00:40:03]

AND THERE WAS A NUMBER OF GOALS THAT WE'VE KIND OF PUT IN PLACE.

SO PARTNERSHIP WITH REGION 11 BEHAVIOR SUPPORT AT A DISTRICT LEVEL.

WE'VE LAUNCHED THE DISTRICT BEHAVIOR COHORT. AND AND THAT HAS ALSO BEEN IMPLEMENTED AT A CAMPUS LEVEL AS WELL.

AND THEN ALSO IN ALIGNMENT WITH HOUSE BILL 3, WE STARTED ROLLING OUT THE STATE MANDATED MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING.

SO THIS HAS TO COME FROM THE STATE. WE'VE ALREADY GOT OUR MANY OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS.

WE'RE STARTING TO ROLL IT OUT TO THE LOWER LEVELS AS WELL.

ANOTHER STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE WAS TO LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPLEMENT AND EXPAND CAMPUS LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS AND THEN INCREASE STUDENT EXPLORATION. AND THERE WAS A LOT OF SUCCESSFUL THINGS.

SO COLLEGE CAMPUS, COLLEGE APPLICATION MEETINGS WITH PARENTS TO TALK ABOUT COURSE SELECTION.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK TOWARDS HELPING EXPAND THAT.

BUT PROBABLY THE THE BIGGEST INITIATIVE WAS SCHOOL LINKS.

SO THAT WAS A NEW PROGRAM THAT WAS ROLLED OUT IN SCHOOL.

LINKS IS WHERE THEY DO A LITTLE BIT OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT KIND OF COLLEGE IS GOOD FOR ME? WHAT WHAT IS MY FUTURE LOOK LIKE? AND WE'VE HAD QUITE A FEW.

SO 2514 UNIQUE STUDENT LOGINS. THERE'S BEEN 19,000 TOTAL LOGINS.

SO IT'S REALLY BEEN ACHIEVED AT THOSE HIGHER LEVELS. BUT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT IT IN THOSE MIDDLE SCHOOLS TO SAY, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO PICK YOUR COURSES STARTING NOW. MAYBE WE SHOULD START EXPLORING THAT AT A, AT A LOWER LEVEL.

YEAH. AND THEN THE FINAL ONE THAT I KNOW HAS BEEN REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THIS BOARD WAS IMPLEMENTING INTENTIONAL VERTICAL ALIGNMENT AND SETTING ASIDE TIME FOR EYE LINE DAYS TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, FROM GRADE TO GRADE, THOSE TEACHERS ARE TALKING THAT THEY'RE PULLING THE TEACHERS THROUGH.

AND ESPECIALLY AS THOSE CAMPUSES, YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF MOVE FROM ONE CAMPUS TO ANOTHER TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S IS CONTINUITY, BUT ESPECIALLY NOW WITH THE CHANGES THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WITH OUR SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION, WE'RE KEEPING THIS ON FOR NEXT YEAR BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE CRITICAL THAT VERTICAL ALIGNMENT. SO THOSE ARE THE KEY THINGS THAT CAME OUT. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. TRUSTEE ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, TRUSTEES, FOR THE TIME THAT YOU SPEND OUTSIDE OF THIS BOARDROOM.

IN WORKING WITH OUR COMMUNITY ON THESE VERY IMPORTANT INITIATIVES.

SO I'M NOT SURE EVERYBODY RECOGNIZES THE FACT THAT WE ALL SPEND MANY HOURS OUTSIDE OF THIS BOARDROOM, OUTSIDE OF OUR BOARD MEETINGS, WORKING ON BEHALF OF THIS DISTRICT AND ON BEHALF OF THIS COMMUNITY.

SO THANK YOU, TRUSTEES, FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO MY PRESIDENT'S REPORT. I JUST HAVE A FEW ITEMS THAT THAT I WILL READ THROUGH.

FIRST OF ALL, GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. AS WE MOVE THROUGH THIS SCHOOL YEAR, I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO HIGHLIGHT SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL TAKING PLACE ACROSS OUR DISTRICT. OUR YEAR LONG USA 250 INITIATIVE HONORING THE 250TH BIRTHDAY OF OUR GREAT NATION.

THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR, CARROLL ISD IS PROUDLY RECOGNIZING AMERICA'S SEMI QUINCENTENNIAL BY CELEBRATING THE VALUES THAT UNITE US FREEDOM, SERVICE, CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY, AND APPRECIATION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BUILT AND DEFENDED THIS COUNTRY.

YOU'LL NOTICE SPECIAL USA 250 SIGNAGE DISPLACED HERE IN OUR BOARDROOM ON EVERY CAMPUS ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND AT DRAGON STADIUM.

THESE VISIBLE REMINDERS REINFORCE OUR COMMITMENT TO HONORING OUR NATION'S HISTORY WHILE PREPARING OUR STUDENTS TO LEAD ITS FUTURE.

THIS INITIATIVE IS ABOUT MORE THAN BANNERS AND SIGNS.

IT'S ABOUT INSTILLING AN APPRECIATION FOR OUR COUNTRY'S FOUNDING PRINCIPLES AND ENCOURAGING THOUGHTFUL CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IN THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS.

NEXT, WE ARE EXCITED TO SHARE A NEW TRANSPARENCY RESOURCE RECENTLY ADDED TO THE DISTRICT WEBSITE CALLED FACT CHECKER.

THIS PAGE IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE ACCURATE, TIMELY INFORMATION AND TO ADDRESS MISINFORMATION THAT MAY BE CIRCULATING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, IN THE LEGACY MEDIA OR WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. OUR GOAL IS SIMPLE TO CREATE A TRUSTWORTHY, EASY TO ACCESS RESOURCE THE COMMUNITY CAN RELY ON WHEN QUESTIONS EMERGE. LASTLY, WE ALSO WANT TO REMIND OUR COMMUNITY THAT WE HAVE ADDED A DONATION BUTTON TO THE DISTRICT WEBSITE FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO SUPPORT CARROLL ISD FINANCIALLY.

YOU NOW HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE DIRECTLY TO CONTRIBUTE DIRECTLY TO THE DISTRICT'S GENERAL FUND, OR DESIGNATE YOUR GIFT TO A SPECIFIC CAMPUS OR DEPARTMENT.

WE REMAIN TREMENDOUSLY GRATEFUL FOR A COMMUNITY THAT CONSISTENTLY INVESTS IN OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF.

AS ALWAYS, WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE, TRANSPARENCY, AND PUTTING OUR STUDENTS FIRST IN EVERY DECISION WE MAKE.

THANK YOU. NOW I'LL TURN IT OVER TO DOCTOR GLENN FOR HIS SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.

[8. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT]

[00:45:06]

WRESTLING FINISHED 3RD IN STATE. THE BOYS TEAM BOTH OF THOSE CONTRIBUTED TO OUR LONE STAR CUP POINTS.

AND THIS WEEKEND, OUR BOYS AND GIRLS SWIM TEAMS BOTH FINISHED 3RD AND 4TH, RESPECTIVELY, IN THE STATE.

SO REGARDLESS OF THE ACTIVITY AT CARROLL ISD, WE REMAIN A PLACE WHERE ACHIEVEMENT IS HIGH.

AND THE KIDS ALWAYS DELIVER WHAT'S EXPECTED. WHILE WE CELEBRATE SUCCESS, WE ARE ALSO PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE.

OUR ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM HAS BEGUN PREPARATIONS FOR THE 26-27 BUDGET.

AS TRUSTEES REQUESTED EARLIER THIS YEAR, OUR TOP PRIORITY IN THIS UPCOMING BUDGET CYCLE WILL BE STAFF RAISES.

WE ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO DEVELOP A RESPONSIBLE FINANCIAL PLAN THAT REFLECTS OUR COMMITMENT TO RECRUITING AND RETAINING THE VERY BEST EDUCATORS AND SUPPORT STAFF. WE ANTICIPATE BRINGING FORWARD A DETAILED PLAN FOR TRUSTEES TO CONSIDER IN APRIL.

WE ARE ALSO COMMUNICATING WITH FAMILIES ABOUT THE UPCOMING FEEDER PATTERN ADJUSTMENTS AS WE PREPARE FOR THE PLANNED CLOSURE OF DURHAM INTERMEDIATE IN 2027.

I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE CHANGES ARE MINIMAL AND STRAIGHTFORWARD.

BEGINNING NEXT SCHOOL YEAR, CARROLL ELEMENTARY WILL NO LONGER SPLIT BETWEEN INTERMEDIATE CAMPUSES.

ALL CARROLL ELEMENTARY STUDENTS WILL FEED ENTIRELY INTO EUBANKS INTERMEDIATE AND DAWSON MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THIS IS A POSITIVE CHANGE. KEEPING CARROLL ELEMENTARY STUDENTS TOGETHER AS THEY TRANSITION TO INTERMEDIATE AND MIDDLE SCHOOL SIMPLIFIES THE PROCESS FOR FAMILIES AND ENSURES CLASSMATES CAN CONTINUE THEIR JOURNEY TOGETHER.

ADDITIONALLY, STUDENTS CURRENTLY IN 4TH GRADE AND BELOW AGAIN 4TH GRADE AND BELOW WHO ARE ZONED OUTSIDE OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES WILL ALSO FEED INTO EUBANKS DAWSON. THIS INCLUDES STAFF, KIDS, WESTLAKE, PARTS OF KELLER, FIRST RESPONDERS, ETC.. THESE ADJUSTMENTS HELP SHIFT ENROLLMENT TOWARD EUBANKS DAWSON, WHICH HAS GREATER CAPACITY AND WILL NEED TO ACCOMMODATE MORE STUDENTS WHEN DURHAM CLOSES IN 2027. AGAIN, THESE CHANGES ARE INTENTIONALLY LIMITED IN SCOPE.

THEY ARE DESIGNED TO BE SIMPLE AND STRATEGIC, ALLOWING US TO BALANCE ENROLLMENT WHILE MINIMIZING DISRUPTION TO FAMILIES.

I ALSO WANT TO REMIND FAMILIES THAT TRANSFER OPTIONS REMAIN AVAILABLE.

ANY FAMILY WHO PREFERS TO ATTEND A CAMPUS OTHER THAN THEIR ZONE SCHOOL MAY APPLY FOR IN-DISTRICT TRANSFERS.

FOLLOWING SPRING BREAK. WE WILL HOST PARENT MEETINGS SPECIFICALLY FOR ELEMENTARY FAMILIES TO PROVIDE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT INTERMEDIATE CAMPUS CHANGES AND ANSWER QUESTIONS. IN CLOSING, CARROLL ISD CONTINUES TO THRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS COMMUNITY'S UNWAVERING SUPPORT.

WE ARE PROUD OF OUR STUDENTS ACCOMPLISHMENTS, COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING OUR STAFF, AND APPRECIATE THIS SCHOOL BOARD BEING INTENTIONAL IN PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE. MR. PRESIDENT, THAT IS YOUR REPORT FOR FEBRUARY.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR GLENN, APPRECIATE THAT. WE'RE I KNOW WE'RE ALL LOOKING VERY MUCH FORWARD TO APRIL TO SEE WHAT THE DISTRICT HAS COME UP WITH IN TERMS OF STAFF COMPENSATION.

AND IF IF YOU CAN, DOCTOR GLENN, I KNOW THAT YOU MENTIONED THE TRANSITION FROM CLOSING DURHAM TO WHERE WE'RE GOING TO TO GO IN THE FUTURE.

BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY KNOWS THAT WE ARE GOING TO INVOLVE COMMUNITY IN, IN THIS TRANSITION. CAN YOU JUST MENTION MAYBE SOME OR OR ALL OF THE COMMITTEES THAT WE'VE DECIDED IF YOU HAVE IT ON YOU? YEAH. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND SO SOMETHING ELSE YOU'LL SEE ROLLED OUT THAT WE DISCUSSED IS IS PART OF THE TIGER TEAM'S RECOMMENDATION IS TRANSITION TEAMS. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TRANSITION TEAMS THAT INVOLVE NOT ONLY STAFF MEMBERS BUT ALSO TRUSTEES, PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. AND THEY'LL BE SET UP IN 7 SPECIFIC AREAS CURRICULUM, FACILITIES, TRANSPORTATION. NAMING. WE CALL IT A NAMING COMMITTEE.

BUT ESSENTIALLY, WE'RE TRYING TO HONOR THE LEGACY OF OF THE DURHAM FAMILY.

THAT BUILDING IS GOING TO BE CLOSED, AS WELL AS EUBANKS AND DAWSON SPECIAL PROGRAMS HR AND EMPLOYEE COMMITTEE, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE STAFF AROUND. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PRINCIPALS ARE INVOLVED IN THAT, AS WELL AS ALL 6 TO 8 RATE PROGRAMS. KEEP IN MIND, AS WE TRANSITION FROM A 5,6,7,8 CAMPUS STRUCTURE TO 6 THROUGH 8, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PROTECT PROGRAMS AND WHEN WE'RE INVESTING IN THE CORRECT PROGRAMS. AND SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING PARENTS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STAFF MEMBERS INVOLVED IN THOSE DISCUSSIONS.

AND YOU'LL SEE SIGN UPS FOR THOSE COMMITTEES BEGIN AFTER SPRING BREAK.

AND THAT WILL BE THE SAME PROCESS. DOCTOR GLENN IS WE'VE USED OVER THE SUMMER FOR COMMITTEES,

[00:50:05]

AND THEN WE'LL GO THROUGH THE SELECTION PROCESS.

ABSOLUTELY. AND THAT WILL INCLUDE PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STAFF AS WELL.

OKAY. THANK YOU, DOCTOR GLENN. OKAY. MOVING ON TO OUR INFORMATION PORTION OF THE MEETING.

[9. INFORMATION]

MR. STEWART, YOU'RE UP. YES. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A QUICK OVERVIEW OF OF TECHNOLOGY AND WHERE WE'RE AT.

I DON'T REALLY WANT TO READ ALL THE RESOURCES TO YOU FOR YOU, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE LIST, THERE'S A LOT OF HARDWARE AND TECHNOLOGY ACROSS THE DISTRICT THAT THAT WE SUPPORT.

AND, AND WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS. AND SO I'M REALLY THANKFUL, I CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH THAT I HAVE SUCH A GREAT TEAM OF PEOPLE IN TECHNOLOGY THAT MANAGE ALL THE DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT, ALL THE DIFFERENT SERVERS, ALL THE DIFFERENT ONLINE RESOURCES.

I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF THEM HERE WITH ME. DONNIE, WHO'S OUR TECHNOLOGY COORDINATOR, AND HEADS UP THE TECHNICIANS GROUP, AND JOHN SALAZAR, OUR DIRECTOR OF INFRASTRUCTURE, WHO HEADS UP THE ENGINEERS. AND SO JUST A GREAT GROUP OF GUYS THAT HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE AND DO A WONDERFUL JOB MAINTAINING THIS EQUIPMENT.

SO IF YOU AVERAGE OUT OUR HELPDESK TICKETS ACROSS THE YEAR, WE AVERAGE ABOUT 40 A DAY AND 650 A MONTH.

NOW, GRANTED, LIKE AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER, WE GET CLOSE TO 2000 TICKETS IN THOSE MONTHS.

AND THEN JUNE OBVIOUSLY HAS A LOT LESS. AND SO OUR MOST COMMON ONES ARE HARDWARE REPAIR FOR STUDENT LAPTOPS.

THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S BEEN NICE ABOUT BYOD, AS MORE DEVICES HAVE SHIFTED TO PERSONAL EQUIPMENT THAT HAS REDUCED REPAIRS FOR THE DISTRICT AND REDUCED COSTS COSTS, AND ALSO REDUCED THE NECESSARY STAFFING AT TIMES TO WITH WITH THAT THAT BLESSING OF BYOD.

MR. STEWART, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE TO TELL US WHAT WHICH POSITIONS HERE HANDLE THOSE HELP DESK REQUESTS? THE MOST COMMON ONES. IT GENERALLY STARTS WITH THE CAMPUS TECHNICIANS.

AND SO THEY'RE KIND OF YOUR FRONTLINE PEOPLE THAT THAT MAKE THE ROUTE.

WE HAVE THREE OF THOSE IN THE DISTRICT, AND THEY, THEY SPEND HALF DAYS ON EACH CAMPUS.

SO EACH CAMPUS HAS 2 HALF DAYS TIMES IN THE ROTATION.

AND THEN IF, IF IT HITS IF IT GETS A MORE COMPLEX TASK, THEY'LL REASSIGN IT TO ONE OF THE OTHER GUYS IN THE DISTRICT TO BE KIND OF A TIER 2 OR TIER 3 SUPPORT. OKAY. THANK YOU. SOME OF THE CURRENT MAIN PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON IS FIREWALL REPLACEMENT.

OUR CURRENT FIREWALL IS SEVEN YEARS OLD AND HAS REACHED END OF LIFE.

AND SO WE'RE PILOTING SEVERAL DIFFERENT FIREWALLS.

WE'RE REPLACING WI-FI ACCESS POINTS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT, AND WE'RE UTILIZING E-RATE FUNDS TO ASSIST IN THE COST OF THAT.

WE'LL EXPLAIN WHAT THAT IS. THE E-RATE FUNDING.

SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ACROSS THE NATION GET A PERCENTAGE OF REFUND OF COSTS FOR E-RATE ELIGIBLE ACCESS.

SO E-RATE ELIGIBLE ITEMS ARE ITEMS THAT HELP STUDENTS GET TO THE INTERNET.

AND SO WIRELESS IS 1 OF THE WAYS THAT THEY GET TO THE INTERNET.

AND SO THE GOVERNMENT REBATES USAC PART OF THE GOVERNMENT REBATES US ON THOSE PURCHASES.

AND SO WE GET OUR DISCOUNT IS ABOUT 30% ON THOSE PURCHASES.

SO WHILE THE COSTS WOULD BE SLIGHTLY OVER $1 MILLION FOR ALL THE WIRELESS ACCESS POINTS, LITTLE BOXES IN EVERY CLASSROOM IT COSTS.

IT CUTS OFF ABOUT 30% OF THE COST WITH, WITH.

AND THAT'S FUNDING COMING FROM THE STATE. IT'S FEDERAL.

THAT'S THE FEDERAL FUNDS. OKAY. GOOD QUESTION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SOME OTHER PROJECTS. WE HAVE MFA WHICH STANDS FOR MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION.

AND SO AS MANY PEOPLE ARE USED TO WHEN THEY LOG INTO THEIR BANK OR SOMETHING, IT GETS A TEXT, A CODE AND THEY ENTER. SO FOR OUR CRUCIAL SYSTEMS, OUR STAFF MEMBERS, WHEN THEY LOG INTO SKYWARD, FOR INSTANCE, IT TEXTS THEM A CODE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE.

IT'S KIND OF THE BEST PROTECTION, CYBERSECURITY WISE TODAY.

AS WELL AS EDR EXTENDED DETECTION AND RESPONSE TO INCREASE CYBERSECURITY PROTECTIONS ON OUR SERVERS.

WE'RE ALSO IMPLEMENTING A NEW HELP DESK SOLUTION THIS SPRING.

ANOTHER RESOURCE THAT PROCESS THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE USING THE BEST INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES WHEN A TEACHER OR STAFF OR PRINCIPAL WANTS TO BUY A NEW INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCE, THEY PUT IN A HELP TICKET INTO OUR TICKETING SYSTEM.

IT GETS THEM REVIEWED BY CURRICULUM INSTRUCTION FOR CONTENT AND SAFETY, AND BY THE ENGINEERS GROUP FOR COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND SPED FOR ACCESSIBILITY. IT THEN GETS ADDED TO THE LIST OF APPROVED RESOURCES FOR YOU ALL TO APPROVE.

AND ONCE THOSE HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY ALL THOSE DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS, THEN A PO CAN BE PUT ON AND IT CAN BE PURCHASED.

SO IT'S THOROUGHLY VETTED BEFORE IT GOES TO USE IN OUR CLASSROOMS FOR INSTRUCTIONAL USE.

[00:55:05]

YOU KNOW, WHAT DO I HAVE DO WHEN PARENTS CAN ALSO CREATE? THERE'S A PARENT APP FOR CANVAS SO THEY CAN SEE.

HEY, OF MY 5TH GRADERS GOT A TEST THIS THURSDAY, AND MY 10TH GRADERS GOT A TEST NEXT WEDNESDAY.

AND MAKE SURE THEY CAN BE BEST PREPARED FOR THAT.

I'M SO SORRY. CAN YOU GO BACK? ONE SLIDE? SURE.

SO THIS IS THE NORMAL PROCESS. I DO HAVE AWARENESS THAT SOMETIMES TOES WILL PURCHASE DIFFERENT RESOURCES? IS THAT GOING THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS OR WHAT'S KIND OF TOES ARE GENERALLY NOT PURCHASING TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES. THEY'RE GENERALLY PURCHASING OTHER THINGS. IF THEY DO, THE IDEAL PROCESS WOULD BE THEY WOULD MAKE THAT DONATION TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND THEN THEY WOULD GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, THROUGH THE PURCHASING PROCESS. YEAH. YEAH.

I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THIS, THIS WAS AN ISSUE WHEN I GOT ON TO THE TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE.

AND MR. STEWART WAS VERY HELPFUL. WE HAD DEFINITELY HURTS WHEN IT COMES TO HORIZONTAL INTEGRATION.

1 ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, FOR EXAMPLE. AND PTO MEANS WELL, BUT IF YOU'RE DONATING, SAY, SOFTWARE OR EVEN MAYBE SOME, I DON'T THINK IT'S JUST SOFTWARE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS HARDWARE AND IT'S NOT IN COMPLIANCE.

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HAVE 1 SCHOOL THAT'S GETTING MAYBE, YOU KNOW, EXTRA RESOURCES, ANOTHER 1 THAT DOESN'T, YOU KNOW, SO WE'RE OUT OF, YOU KNOW, THE EFFORTS OF TRYING TO HAVE HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT.

AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT TECHNOLOGY GROUP HAS DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF IS REMINDING EACH OF THE CAMPUSES ABOUT OUR GOAL FOR THAT HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT AND THAT EVERYTHING COMES THROUGH FOR PURCHASING THROUGH TECHNOLOGY.

ARE YOU SEEING THAT? ARE YOU NOTING, NOTING? DO YOU HAVE EXAMPLES OF THAT HAPPENING? I MEAN, THERE WAS I MEAN, I THINK THERE WAS AN ARTICLE RECENTLY ABOUT HOW PTO PURCHASE ALL TECHNOLOGY FOR OUR CAMPUSES AND WHATNOT.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THAT'S HAPPENING THAT WE'VE GOT.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT AND THIS WAS A PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION WAS THAT'S NOT THE ROLE OF PTO, RIGHT? BUYING INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL, THEY CAN SAY, HEY, WE'D LIKE TO HAVE THIS.

THAT'S THE ROLE OF ADMIN. MAYBE WE CAN LEVEL SET AT THE PRINCIPAL LEVEL AND JUST MAKE SURE.

ARE YOU ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY BEING PURCHASED OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE PROVIDE? I KNOW THAT USED TO BE VERY COMMON SINCE A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WHEN WE HAD THAT LARGER COMMITTEE.

I'M NOT AWARE OF VERY MANY. I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY RESOURCES, INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES THAT HAVE BEEN PURCHASED BY PTOS SINCE THEN.

THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOME DONATIONS THAT CAME IN, IN WHICH CASE THEN IT WOULD FOLLOW THAT PROCESS.

I'M ASSUMING THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING MORE AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL.

SOME OF THE STUFF THAT'S HARDER. LIKE, CAN YOU LOOK INTO THAT? A PRINTER MIGHT GET DONATED.

AND THAT'S SOMETIMES LIKE EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE.

OKAY. WE COULD LET ME KNOW WHAT IT IS AND I'LL TRY TO TRACK THAT DOWN AND SEE.

IS IT EQUITABLE STILL? YEAH. I MEAN, THEY'D BE OUT OF POLICY.

YEAH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOGLE IS OUR COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT.

SO GOOGLE DOCS FOR EDUCATION. IT ALSO LETS US BE A LITTLE MORE SAFE, TOO, IN THAT WHILE THEY CAN COLLABORATE INTERNALLY AT PRE-K THROUGH EIGHT, THERE'S A WALLED GARDEN. AND SO THE EXTERNAL WORLD CAN'T REACH IN AND COLLABORATE WITH STUDENTS AT PRE-K THROUGH EIGHT.

BUT WE OPEN THAT WALLED GARDEN UP WHEN IT HITS HIGH SCHOOL SO THEY CAN DO THINGS LIKE SCHOLARSHIPS AND AND ACTIVITIES THEY NEED TO DO WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD, SO IT'S EXTRA SAFE. LIGHT SPEED GIVES US THE ABILITY TO DETECT CYBERBULLYING BETTER AND SELF HARM NOTIFICATIONS, AS WELL AS GIVE TEACHERS THE ABILITY TO LOOK AT SCREENS. AND IT FILTERS DEVICES BOTH WHEN THEY'RE AT SCHOOL AND AT HOME.

SEESAW IS KIND OF LIKE A TWITTER, LIKE A SECURE TWITTER FOR EDUCATION.

SO IF THE TEACHER STUDENTS BEEN WORKING ON WORK, THE TEACHER POSTS THAT IN THERE, AND PARENTS CAN LOG IN SECURELY AND JUST SEE WHAT THEIR KIDS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON. CLASSLINK IS OUR SINGLE SIGN ON PORTAL.

IT'S WHAT THAT MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION GOES THROUGH, AND IT MAKES IT MUCH EASIER SO THAT STUDENTS DON'T HAVE TO LEARN 30 DIFFERENT WEBSITES AND DIFFERENT PASSWORDS TO EVERYTHING. THEY JUST GO INTO ONE PLACE. SKYWARD.

AS YOU KNOW, OUR STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM WHERE GRADES AND TRANSCRIPTS ARE HELD AND OUR HELP TECH TICKETING SYSTEM.

AND HERE'S HOW YOU CAN GET OUR ASSISTANCE IN VARIOUS WAYS.

AND I DID WANT TO SAY IT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER ABOUT CELL PHONE USAGE AND VIOLATIONS.

I DID CONTACT WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL AND HE SAID IT'S IMPROVED A LOT.

IN SEPTEMBER, THERE WAS 212 VIOLATIONS, AND IN JANUARY IT WAS DOWN TO 32.

SO STUDENTS ARE GETTING THE HANG OF IT AND UNDERSTANDING, HEY, THIS IS WE DON'T DO THIS ANYMORE.

AND SO THOSE VIOLATIONS HAVE DRASTICALLY DECREASED SINCE THE START OF SCHOOL.

SO ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, MR. STEWART. ANY QUESTIONS? YEP. JUST ONE QUESTION ON THE MULTI FACTOR AUTHENTICATION.

[01:00:01]

IT DOES IT EITHER WAY IT'S NOT FOR STUDENTS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE PHONES.

IT'S FOR ALL THE STAFF MEMBERS. AND SO WITH THE STAFF THEY CAN CHOOSE AN SMS TEXT WHICH SENDS THEM A NUMBER THAT THEY TAPE IN, OR THEY CAN USE LIKE MICROSOFT OR GOOGLE AUTHENTICATOR APPS.

WHY WOULDN'T STUDENTS NEED MULTI FACTOR. WE'D LIKE TO GET THEM THERE AND THERE'S A PIN OPTION WE MIGHT GET THERE BUT THEY DON'T HAVE CELL PHONES.

AND USUALLY THE CELL PHONE IS THE KEY TO THE MULTI FACTOR.

SO THERE'S KIND OF LIKE I WAS ASKING THERE'S PROS AND CONS TO NOT HAVING CELL PHONES.

SO YOU KNOW IT'S KIND OF A YEAH A NECESSITY AT THIS POINT.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE MULTI FACTOR AUTHENTICATION YOU ARE VULNERABLE.

SO SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. AND THAT'S WHY WE TURN IT ON FAR AWAY FROM THESE.

SO WE WANT TO. YEAH WE CAN ONLY GET SO FAR. YOU BRING THAT UP WITH THE LEGISLATURE.

IT IS THE BEST SECURITY TODAY. MULTI FACTOR AUTHENTICATION.

I JUST I WANT TO COMMEND RANDY'S LEADERSHIP THIS YEAR.

WE KNOW THAT HIS, HIS PROGRAM I GUESS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS AT ITS PEAK HE HAD ABOUT 31 EMPLOYEES UNDER UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP.

AND AND HE'S DOWN TO ABOUT 12 WITH A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION BEING CUT THIS PAST YEAR IS WE LOOKED AT BUDGET CUTS ACROSS THE DISTRICT, AND NOT ONLY DID HE STEP UP AND DELIVER, BUT HE DID IT WITH WITH FEWER STAFF MEMBERS TAKING ON MORE RESPONSIBILITY.

AND THAT TAKES LEADERSHIP. EVERYTHING RISES AND FALLS ON LEADERSHIP.

SO WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FROM A TECHNOLOGY STANDPOINT. RANDY ECHO THAT.

THANK YOU. MR. STEWART. I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION, IF I MAY. YES.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THIS BOARD AND TRUSTEES HEAR, SOME IN PARTICULAR, HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH STAFF.

THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB. AND THAT IS WITH THE ACADEMIC DISHONESTY AND THE TASK FORCE THAT WAS SET UP TO LOOK AT IT.

BECAUSE AS THE TECHNOLOGY KEEPS CHANGING AND EVOLVING, WE HAVE TO CHANGE AND WE'VE UPGRADED ACTUALLY OUR STUDENT HANDBOOK AND POLICIES.

COULD YOU JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT, MAYBE ABOUT YOUR ROLE? IT WAS BROUGHT UP BY A PUBLIC SPEAKER EARLIER, EVEN WHAT MORE CAN BE DONE? WE KNOW WITH BYOD, CERTAINLY FINANCIALLY. YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE EFFICIENCIES ON YOUR TEAM TOO.

BUT WHAT CAN BE DONE TO TRY TO, YOU KNOW, STOP THOSE THOSE GAPS WHEN IT COMES TO ACADEMIC DISHONESTY.

SURE, THERE IS LESS CONTROL OF A DEVICE THAT SOMEBODY ELSE OWNS THAN A DEVICE THAT WE OWN.

THAT IS THE REALITY. IF I OWN IT, I HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER IT.

AND SO THERE'S THERE'S MORE PRACTICAL, TRADITIONAL METHODS OF YES, THE TEACHER NEEDS TO BE UP ACTIVELY MONITORING THE CLASSROOM, AND IT IS MOVING MORE TOWARDS, AS YOU GUYS MENTIONED IT, MORE TOWARDS PENCIL AND PAPER TESTING.

THERE IS STILL THE RESPONDUS APP THAT THE STUDENTS CAN PUT ON THEIR LAPTOPS AS WELL AS IT GOES ON DISTRICT LAPTOPS.

AND WHEN THE RESPONDENT'S APPS ON THERE IT LOCKS THE STUDENT INTO THE TEST.

AND SO THAT'S ONE MEASURE THEY CAN USE. WE ALSO TRY TO BLOCK AND AI TOOLS AND RESTRICT THEM.

SO TOOLS LIKE GOOGLE'S GEMINI, WE HAVE IT CONFIGURED SUCH THAT IF YOU ASK IT LIKE, HEY, WHAT'S THE ANSWER TO THIS MATH PROBLEM? IT'S NOT GOING TO TELL YOU THE ANSWER. IT'S GOING TO TELL YOU THE STEPS TO GET TO THE ANSWER.

AND SO WE TRY TO USE TECHNOLOGY AS BEST AS WE CAN TO PROVIDE VARIOUS WAYS TO HELP USE MODERN TOOLS LIKE AI IN CONSTRUCTIVE WAYS, WITHOUT JUST GIVING THE ANSWER AWAY SO THAT THERE'S STILL THE LEARNING IN THE PROCESS.

WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW WITH THE CHROME DEVICES, WHICH IS FROM 5 TO 8.

CAN YOU GIVE US JUST A. SURE. THOSE ARE THOSE ARE KIND OF THE IDEAL TOOL IN A LOT OF WAYS BECAUSE THEY'RE THE MOST LOCKED DOWN AND THAT THE CHROMEBOOK IS REALLY ESSENTIALLY THE CHROME BROWSER.

AND SO THERE'S NOT LOTS OF PROGRAMS AND SOFTWARES AND VPNS THAT CAN INSTALL ON THAT COMPUTER.

THEY JUST GET THE CHROME BROWSER. AND SO WE CAN LOCK THAT DOWN REALLY EFFECTIVELY THROUGH THE CHROME MANAGEMENT TOOLS AND SAY, NOPE, YOU ONLY GET THIS AND WE CAN WE CAN FILTER IT VERY EASILY.

AND SO AT GRADES FIVE THROUGH EIGHT, YES, THAT'S A MUCH EASIER TO TO MAINTAIN CONSISTENCY AND LOCK DOWN.

SO EVEN FOR A PARENT LOOKING TO BUY A DEVICE FOR THEIR KID AS PART OF A CHROMEBOOK WOULD BE AN AFFORDABLE OPTION THAT WOULD BE LESS LIKELY TO GET A KID INTO TROUBLE DOWNLOADING. YES, YOU CAN GET A CHROMEBOOK FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED TO $300 EASILY.

YEP. THANKS. THANK YOU. TRUSTEE YEAGER. ANYTHING ELSE FOR MR. STEWART? OKAY. THANK YOU. MR.. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOU.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS 9.2 TEA GRANTS, MISS PEDDY.

GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BRYAN. DOCTOR GLENN. TRUSTEES.

I AM THRILLED TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO GO OVER WITH YOU.

SOME OF THE GRANTS AND SOME OF THE ALLOTMENTS THAT WE HAVE BEEN AWARDED.

AS YOU KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN THERE'S BEEN LOTS OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HAVE WE APPLIED FOR GRANTS?

[01:05:01]

AND SO WE DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THESE GRANTS. BEFORE WE GOT THE PREP MENTORSHIP ALLOTMENT, THERE WAS A GRANT OUT THERE.

AND UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS MORE FOR THE LOW SOCIOECONOMIC.

SO WE DID NOT QUALIFY. SO A LOT OF TIMES WHENEVER PEOPLE ARE LIKE, WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU APPLY FOR IT? WELL, WE DIDN'T APPLY BECAUSE WE WEREN'T GOING TO GET IT.

SO BUT WE ARE THRILLED TO BE ABLE TO SAY TODAY THAT THESE ARE THE GRANTS THAT WE HAVE APPLIED FOR AND THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE GOTTEN A WE HAVE GOTTEN A STRONG FOUNDATIONS GRANT FOR $160,000.

SO THIS GRANT IS DESIGNED TO HELP SCHOOL DISTRICTS STRENGTHEN EARLY LITERACY AND MATHEMATICS INSTRUCTION IN THE FOUNDATIONAL GRADES.

IT PROVIDES FUNDING FOR HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING, AND IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT ALIGNED TO EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICES TO IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES.

THIS WAS A GREAT GRANT THAT WE GOT. WE'VE ALREADY HAD A COUPLE OF MEETINGS.

OUR STAFF WAS INVITED TO PARTICIPATE, AND THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO DO SO.

AND WE'RE HOPING TO IMPROVE OUR INSTRUCTION. GREAT TIMING ON THIS ONE BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A MATH TEXTBOOK ADOPTION RIGHT NOW, SO THE TIMING COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER. WE ALSO GOT A COMPUTER SCIENCE APSI GRANT.

OUR COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM IS GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS.

WE CONTINUE TO NEED TO HIRE ADDITIONAL STAFF JUST BECAUSE OUR PROGRAM KEEPS GROWING.

SO THE NICE THING ABOUT THE COMPUTER SCIENCE APSI GRANT IS THIS GRANT WILL IT SUPPORTS OUR TEACHERS WITH THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DURING THE SUMMER.

ALL OF OUR ADVANCED PLACEMENT TEACHERS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND AN ADVANCED PLACEMENT TRAINING EVERY THREE YEARS TO STAY CURRENT ON COLLEGE BOARD'S PHILOSOPHY, IF THEIR PROGRAM OR IF THEIR CONTENT AREA IS COMING UP FOR A REVAMP.

IF THE IF THEIR IF COLLEGE BOARD'S CHANGING THE TEST.

THEY HAVE TO GO THEN TO. BUT THIS GRANT WILL HELP OUR TEACHERS.

THEY WILL GO. THEY WILL GET PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

THEY WILL LEARN IN SOME INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES THAT WILL HELP THEIR PROGRAMS AS WELL.

THIS ONE ALSO EXPANDS ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY COMPUTER SCIENCE COURSEWORK FOR OUR STUDENTS.

SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT ONE. OUR OUR PREP MENTORSHIP ALLOTMENT IS A GREAT PROGRAM.

THIS WILL HELP OUR OUR NEW HIRES, OUR 0 YEAR TEACHERS, AND OUR 1ST YEAR TEACHERS.

WE ARE THRILLED TO GET THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT HAD MANY SCARCE, AND IT'S HARD TO BE ABLE TO FIND ENOUGH FUNDING IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO HELP OUR STAFF. AND AS HR WILL TELL YOU, THAT IS THE GREATEST AREA THAT WE NEED FUNDING IN.

WE NEED TO RETAIN THE STAFF THAT WE GET. AND IT'S THOSE FIRST FIVE YEARS, IF YOU IF YOU LOSE THEM, THAT'S WHEN YOU USUALLY LOSE THEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T FEEL LIKE THEY'RE PREPARED TO STAY IN THE CLASSROOM.

SO WE ARE THRILLED TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT AS WELL.

THE ONES THAT THAT FOLLOW ARE FROM OUR SPECIAL PROGRAMS. WE HAVE GOT A PRESCHOOL GRANT FOR 54,000. THE OTHER ONES ARE MORE OF OUR FEDERAL PROGRAMS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN.

WE'VE GOT OUR IDEA. IDEA B PRESCHOOL TITLE 1E.

TITLE 2 AND TITLE 3 FUNDING. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE APPLYING FOR ALL THE GRANTS AND THE ALLOTMENTS THAT WE CAN.

WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO BRING IN FUNDING.

AND SO WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT ON THAT. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

SO MISS PEDDY. IT LOOKS LIKE JUST THE SHORT MATH, THIS IS ABOUT $2 MILLION IN GRANTS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED SO FAR THIS YEAR.

AND I KNOW THERE'S OTHER GRANTS OUT THERE YOU'RE STILL LOOKING AT LIKE THE LASSO GRANT, WHICH COULD ADD TO THESE TOTALS. YES.

THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT. THANK YOU. MISS PEDDY, I APPRECIATE THIS PRESENTATION.

AND AT 2 MILLION IS A LOT. AND I'M ASSUMING THAT THERE IS MANY, MANY GRANT OPPORTUNITIES OUT THERE BOTH ON THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL.

AS A DISTRICT, AND I'M ASSUMING IT'S OUT OF YOUR DEPARTMENT, WHO DO WE HAVE? AND MAYBE IT'S YOU THAT WRITES THESE GRANT APPLICATIONS.

DO WE HAVE ANYBODY DEDICATED TO TO FINDING THESE GRANTS OR FINDING THESE OPPORTUNITIES THAT MAY BE OUT THERE THAT MAY NOT BE, YOU KNOW, PLASTERED ON, YOU KNOW, THE HEADLINES? HOW DOES THAT WORK? DO NOT. OKAY. WE ALREADY HAVE A VERY SMALL STAFF.

AND SO MY STAFF, WE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE LOOKING FOR THESE GRANTS.

AND WE ARE APPLYING FOR THESE GRANTS. SO AND THEY DO TAKE TIME.

OKAY. TRUSTEE IS THIS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT A LOT OF COMMITTEES IN PLACE.

IS THIS SOMETHING THAT SOME OF THOSE EFFORTS COULD BE, YOU KNOW, PUT ON TO ANY OF THE COMMITTEES TO, TO KIND OF HELP SUPPORT. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT IN THE PAST. I JUST DON'T KNOW THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THAT. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK AT. WE KNOW WE HAVE PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ALWAYS WANT TO PITCH IN AND HELP.

[01:10:01]

SO THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE COULD LOOK AT.

AS PATTY SAID, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE'VE STREAMLINED ADMINISTRATION.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TOP HALF OF THAT LIST BEFORE YOU, THAT'S HER TEAM.

THE BOTTOM HALF IS MISS PARSONS. AND AND HER TEAM KIND OF TAKES CARE OF THOSE IDA AND TITLE GRANTS RIGHT NOW.

SO SO ANY HELP THAT THAT WE COULD GET FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THESE FIELDS THAT WERE WILLING, THAT MIGHT BE WILLING TO DONATE THEIR TIME AND TALENTS, THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE APPRECIATED. IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS. I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME, BUT MAYBE WE CAN CONNECT. AND THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MISS PEDDY. ANYTHING ELSE FOR MISS PEDDY? OKAY.

THANK YOU. YEP. OKAY. NEXT UP, ITEM 9.3, OUR BUDGET UPDATE, MR. PARK. DOCTOR GLENN. PRESIDENT BRYAN. TRUSTEES.

GOOD EVENING. I'M HERE TONIGHT TO FORMALLY KICK OFF THE FISCAL YEAR 26-27 BUDGET PLANNING PROCESS WITH YOU ALL.

I'LL GO OVER THE CALENDAR. JUST INITIAL REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE EXPENDITURE ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE'VE STARTED WITH AND THEN JUST TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE CALENDAR HERE WE ARE EARLY IN THE, IN THE BUDGET PLANNING PROCESS.

SO WE'LL TAKE THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS TO BEGIN OUR ZERO BASED BUDGETING EFFORTS WITH, WITH ALL THE CAMPUSES AND DEPARTMENTS AS WE'VE KNOWN SINCE NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER AFTER THE VATRE PASSED.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, FRANKLY, BUT, YOU KNOW, GOING ON THROUGH THROUGH MARCH WE'LL CONTINUE TO PROJECT OUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT KIND OF SALARY AND STAFFING YOU KNOW, RAISES WE CAN GIVE.

AND THEN WE WILL START SCHEDULING MEETINGS WITH OUR DEPARTMENTS IN EARLY MARCH TO START THAT ZERO BASED BUDGETING DISCUSSION PROCESS. MR. PARK, CAN I JUST STOP YOU RIGHT THERE? BECAUSE 0 BASED BUDGETING IS SUPER IMPORTANT TO THIS BOARD.

AND WE APPRECIATE YOU DIVING HEAD FIRST IN INTO THIS.

WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND? I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T BEEN HERE FOR TOO LONG, BUT ARE PEOPLE BUYING IN NOW TO THIS PROCESS? HOW IS THIS WORKING? ARE YOU STILL HAVING TO YOU KNOW, FIGHT TO GET PEOPLE TO, YOU KNOW, EMBRACE THIS CONCEPT OR JUST KIND OF IN GENERAL, HOW IS IT WORKING IN YOUR OPINION? I WILL SAY OUR STAFF DEPARTMENTS AND CAMPUS PRINCIPALS, THEY'VE ALL BEEN BEEN VERY GRACIOUS THROUGH THE PROCESS.

ESPECIALLY ME COMING IN KIND OF MIDWAY THROUGH THE BUDGET PLANNING PROCESS LAST YEAR.

YOU KNOW, THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL IN MAKING AND ACKNOWLEDGING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN A DEFICIT AND AND WORKING AS A TEAM TO GIVE UP WHERE THEY NEEDED TO GIVE UP AND, AND, YOU KNOW, REQUESTING THAT THEY KEEP, YOU KNOW, X, Y, Z WHERE THEY NEEDED TO IN ORDER TO, TO FULLY IMPLEMENT AND EXECUTE THEIR OPERATIONAL GOALS.

SO OVERALL, I THINK, I THINK IT'S BEEN A GREAT PROCESS SO FAR.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT THAT RIGHT SIZING AND YOU KNOW, ANALYSIS OF THEIR OPERATIONAL BUDGETS HAS TO CONTINUE JUST BECAUSE WE ARE WE ARE DECLINING ENROLLMENT. AND SO I THINK EVERYONE HAS THAT AS A, AS AN UNDERLYING BASELINE FOR THEIR UNDERSTANDING GOING INTO THIS PROCESS.

AND I THINK AGAIN THIS YEAR WE WILL LOOK TO MINIMIZE OUR NON-PAYROLL BUDGET AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT, THAT IF THERE ARE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, ONE OFF PILOT TYPE TYPE THINGS THAT, THAT THEY WANT TO TRY, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO, TO EXPLORE SOMETHING THAT MIGHT PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FUTURE.

WELL, I APPRECIATE THAT, MR. PARK. IT MEANS A LOT TO US THAT YOU'RE SPEARHEADING THIS EFFORT.

AND THANK YOU, DOCTOR GLENN, FOR SUPPORTING MR. PARK IN THIS, THIS AREA.

AND IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT BECAUSE WE'RE IN A DEFICIT.

I HOPE IT'S CHANGING A CULTURE HERE IN OUR DISTRICT, AND THE FACT THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET OUT OF THIS DEFICIT BUSINESS AT SOME POINT SOON.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE 0 BASED BUDGETING, AND THAT'S HOW WE STAY OUT OF THE DEFICIT.

SO HOPEFULLY WE ARE CHANGING THAT CULTURE. YOU'RE LEADING THAT EFFORT AND CHANGE THAT CULTURE TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT A SHORT TERM DEAL, THAT THIS IS A THIS IS A PERMANENT DEAL AND A CULTURE CHANGE THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE IN THIS DISTRICT, SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND MOVING ON TO APRIL.

THOSE ARE WHEN WHEN THE WHEN THE LOCAL PRELIMINARY PROPERTY VALUES COME OUT.

SO ONCE ONCE THAT'S PUBLISHED, WE'LL HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF, OF THE REVENUE PROJECTIONS THAT, THAT WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

AND THEN ALONG WITH THAT, WE WILL PRESENT TO YOU THE THE INITIAL PROPOSAL FOR FOR OUR SALARY RAISE AND EQUITY

[01:15:09]

MR. PARKER, HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM TAD? TO DATE SUGGESTING THAT WE'RE WITHIN TOLERANCE? BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE OUTSIDE. WE'RE THE ONLY DISTRICT IN OUR REGION OUTSIDE OF TOLERANCE LAST YEAR.

YES. SO, OKAY, THE THE STATE PROPERTY VALUE STUDY CAME OUT IN, IN LATE JANUARY AND IN TARRANT COUNTY, US AND [INAUDIBLE] ISD WERE THE 2 DISTRICTS THAT THAT WERE OUT OF GRACE OUT OF THE 10% BAND.

AND SO IN IN YEAR 1 TAD HAS STATED THAT THAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN GRACE AND SO YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR STATE VALUES WILL STAY AND SO WE ARE THANKFUL FOR THAT.

I AM. I AM IN DISCUSSIONS WITH MR. BOBBITT AT TAD TO TO POSSIBLY APPEAL AND SEE IF AND SEE IF WE WE MAY BE ABLE TO GET WITHIN GRACE. BUT BUT THAT THOSE THOSE TALKS ARE ONGOING.

YOU'RE ON TOP OF THAT. SO THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT, SIR.

AND THEN MOVING ON LATER, LATER IN THE YEAR JUNE WE, WE WILL ADOPT OUR BUDGET.

AND THEN THE FISCAL YEAR WILL BEGIN JULY 1ST.

CERTIFIED PROPERTY VALUES WILL COME OUT IN JULY.

AND THEN AND THEN WE WILL WORK TO ADOPT OUR OUR NEW TAX RATE IN AUGUST.

SO SOME KEY REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS. INITIALLY WE ARE PROJECTING FROM OUR, FROM OUR DEMOGRAPHER, WE ARE PROJECTING AN ENROLLMENT OF 7694 WHICH FROM OUR SNAPSHOT DATE THIS YEAR WILL BE A DECLINE OF 184 STUDENTS.

I DO BELIEVE THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE HIGH. SO, YOU KNOW, IN OUR IN OUR ESTIMATES, WE MAY WE MAY TRY AND AND TARGET A SLIGHTLY LOWER NUMBER. AND WE'RE WORKING WITH, WITH MR. NICHOL AND HR TO, TO KIND OF GET, GET, GET THE RIGHT PROJECTIONS FOR, FOR EACH OF OUR CAMPUSES. TIER 1 TAX RATE, AS YOU KNOW IS DETERMINED BY THE STATE FORMULA.

AND EVERY YEAR IN THE IN THE FORMULA THERE ARE PROVISIONS TO COMPRESS THE MCR.

AND SO, SO I EXPECT THAT TO CONTINUE. HOW MUCH.

WE ARE NOT SURE YET, BUT THAT THAT REALLY WILL DEPEND ON, ON HOW MUCH PROPERTY VALUES GROWTH WE HAVE.

SO WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT SINCE THE VATRE PASSED OUR TIER 2 TAX RATE, IT WILL BE AT 0.08 ONCE AGAIN THIS YEAR.

FROM THE FROM THE 0.05 THAT WE HAD BEFORE THE VATRE WAS PASSED.

AND THE AND THE OTHER BIGGEST CHANGE IS THAT THE SPED FUNDING WEIGHTS WILL BE WILL NOW GO UNDER THIS NEW INTENSITY BASED SERVICES MODEL. AND SO I BELIEVE THE TEA COMMISSIONER IS IS STILL WORKING TO DETERMINE WHAT THOSE WHAT THOSE TIERS ARE AND THEN ALSO WHAT THE WEIGHTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE TIERS. SO YOU KNOW, WE WILL AWAIT KIND OF WHAT, WHAT IS PUBLISHED AND THEN AND THEN PLAN ACCORDINGLY WITH THAT.

THANK YOU. YEAH. LET ME JUST. YEAH. I JUST WANT TO TOUCH BASE ON THAT. THAT'S BIG FOR US RIGHT NOW.

LOCALLY WE FUND A LOT OF OUR SPECIAL ED PROGRAMS. AND SO THE INCREASE IN SPECIAL EDUCATION FUNDING WILL ALLOW US TO STOP SUBSIDIZING THAT PROGRAM QUITE SO MUCH.

SO WE'RE REALLY WE'RE REALLY COUNTING ON T DOING A GOOD JOB AS THEY DELIVER THAT MODEL TO US IN HOPES THAT THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO FREE UP SOME OF OUR OTHER CAPITAL TO USE ON PROGRAMS THAT WE'LL NEED TO SUPPORT AS WE LOSE ENROLLMENT.

I THINK THAT WAS A BIG TIME BONUS OUT OF THIS LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION FOR US.

AND THANK YOU, TRUSTEE BARTLEBAUGH, I KNOW YOU WORKED ON THAT WITH SOME OF OUR LEGISLATORS DOWN IN DOWN IN AUSTIN.

I JUST WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK THE COMMUNITY AGAIN FOR PASSING OUR VADER WHICH HAS HELPED TREMENDOUSLY.

IT HASN'T SOLVED OUR DEFICIT PROBLEM, BUT IT SURE HAS HELPED OUT IN MANY WAYS.

AND I KNOW THAT WE'LL SEE THAT IN APRIL WHEN THE DISTRICT RECOMMENDS A COMPENSATION PLAN FOR OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF.

AND JUST A QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU BEFORE WE LEAVE THESE BULLETS.

MR. PARK, YOU SAID THAT 184 WAS PROBABLY HIGH IN YOUR MIND.

WHAT ARE WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? IN TERMS OF WHAT'S THE NUMBER THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF ENROLLMENT TO BUILD OUR BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR? DO YOU HAVE THAT NUMBER YET? WELL, I THINK INITIALLY WHEN, WHEN JUST, YOU KNOW, INFORMAL DISCUSSION WITH MR. NICHOL, I THINK I THINK WE WERE SOMEWHERE AROUND THE 76, 60 ISH RANGE.

76, 70. AND AGAIN NONE OF US KNOW WHAT THE ADDITION OF SCHOOL VOUCHERS IS GOING TO DO.

AND SO THAT'S KIND OF AN UNKNOWN IT SHOULDN'T AFFECT US TOO MUCH, BUT BUT THAT'S ANOTHER FACTOR THAT THAT COULD FURTHER DECREASE OUR ENROLLMENT AS WELL.

SO JUST JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND. YEAH, I WOULD THINK FROM AN ENROLLMENT STANDPOINT,

[01:20:01]

WE KNOW WE GRADUATED SOME SENIORS. SO IT'S SLIGHTLY BELOW THAT NOW.

AND YOU'RE BRINGING IN A CLASS OF ABOUT 420, 430 KINDERGARTNERS.

YOU KNOW, IF WE BRING IN ANOTHER CLASS THAT IS BETWEEN THAT 450 RANGE, THAT'LL BE A NET LOSS OF OVER 200 KIDS.

BUT WE SEE KIDS ADD TO OTHER GRADE LEVELS, RIGHT? SO IN SECOND, THIRD, ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL 8TH GRADE, WE KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO ADD ABOUT 100 KIDS.

SO I THINK IT'S REASONABLE TO ASSUME THAT IT WILL LIKELY BE OVER 100 KIDS.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE UP THE ENTIRE 200. BUT WE'LL WE'LL PROBABLY SEE ABOUT HALF THAT IN NET LOSS.

AND JUST TO CLOSE THE REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS YOU KNOW, THESE OTHER AREAS OF OUR LOCAL BUDGET THAT THAT WE HAVE CONTROL OVER YOU KNOW FACILITY RENTALS, OUR SPONSORSHIPS AND ADVERTISEMENTS STUDENT FEES, TRANSPORTATION AND CHILD NUTRITION FEES.

THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT THAT WE WILL EXAMINE AS THIS BUDGET PROCESS CONTINUES.

GOING OVER TO THE EXPENDITURE SIDE WE HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING ABOUT 80% OF OUR GENERAL FUND BUDGET IS IS IS GOING TOWARD PAYROLL.

SO CONTINUING OUR RIGHTSIZING EFFORTS AS WE AS WE LOSE STUDENTS IS PARAMOUNT.

AGAIN, THE PROPOSAL FOR STAFF EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS AND RAISES, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S A TOP PRIORITY.

SO THAT JUST CONTINUES TO EMPHASIZE HOW IMPORTANT RIGHTSIZING IS.

YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE TRYING TO GIVE A BIGGER PIECE OF THE PIE TO, TO TO EACH STAFF MEMBER THAN, YOU KNOW, CUTTING THE PIES MORE WAYS, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S A, IT'S A MATH THAT DOESN'T SOLVE ITSELF.

SO THE OTHER PART DEPARTMENTAL BUDGETS THE OTHER, THE OTHER ABOUT 18, 19% CONTINUING 0 BASED BUDGETING AND THEN ALSO AFTER THE INITIAL EVALUATIONS MEETING WITH THE CAMPUS I'M SORRY, DEPARTMENT HEADS TO TO REALLY TALK ABOUT WHERE WE CAN SAVE WHAT, WHAT WE CAN DO WITHOUT AND THEN AND THEN COMING TO A MUTUALLY AGREEABLE, AGREEABLE AMOUNT FOR THEIR BUDGET. AND THEN THE LAST LITTLE PORTION IT'S HONESTLY REALLY PRETTY, PRETTY SMALL AMOUNT, BUT BUT THE CAMPUS BUDGETS, WE WILL REVIEW THEIR, THEIR PER PUPIL ALLOTMENTS AND THEN ADJUST WHERE NECESSARY THAT HOW WE DO CAMPUS BUDGETS. YES, SIR. SO WE HAVE A TEMPLATE BASED ON BASED ON A PER STUDENT NUMBER.

AND THEN EVERY YEAR DEPENDING ON WHAT THEIR ENROLLMENT CHANGES FROM YEAR TO YEAR WE WILL, WE WILL ADJUST THAT.

AND IT VARIES LIKE THE ELEMENTARY THRESHOLD IS DIFFERENT THAN THE SECONDARY BECAUSE IT COSTS MORE TO EDUCATE A SECONDARY KID.

YES. CORRECT. IS THAT THE WAY THEY DO IT? IT'S PRETTY COMMON IN MOST DISTRICTS.

OKAY. THEY DON'T. WHY DON'T THEY DO IT ON A LIKE A BASED ON NEED RATHER THAN BASED ON PEOPLE? WELL, SO I MEAN, AS FAR AS, LIKE, LIKE A NEED ON A CAMPUS WE, WE WOULD ADDRESS THAT THIS, THIS WOULD BE LIKE A CAMPUS BUDGET. SO THE PRINCIPAL DETERMINING LIKE, YOU KNOW, FROM A SUPPLY STANDPOINT, HOW MUCH MONEY THEY'RE GOING TO GET FOR THE ALLOCATION OF PAPER. RIGHT. AND SO WE BASE THAT ON ON STUDENTS BECAUSE IT'S, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE MORE STUDENTS, YOU MAY NEED MORE SUPPLIES, PAPER, THOSE SORT OF THINGS. FOR EXAMPLE, AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL FOR CTE, WE, WE, WE PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT PER STUDENT FOR, FOR FINE ARTS, WE PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT PER STUDENT.

AND SO THE THAT THAT TOTAL NUMBER YOU SEE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, WHICH IS, WHICH IS BIGGER PER STUDENT THAN THE ELEMENTARY, IT ENCOMPASSES ALL THOSE ADJUSTMENTS. SOUNDS LIKE BASIC ALLOTMENT CALCULATION CORRECT.

OKAY. NEXT STEPS. JUST SUMMARIZING WHAT WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED.

YOU KNOW, WE'LL CONTINUE TO CONDUCT THE BUDGET MEETINGS. WE'LL PROVIDE CAMPUS ALLOCATIONS AND ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS EXAMINE OUR STAFFING, AND THEN PREPARE THE PROPOSAL FOR FOR THE BOARD.

AND WE WILL TRACK LEGISLATIVE UPDATES AND THE PROPERTY VALUE STUDIES.

ANY QUESTIONS? SO, MR. PARK, THAT WILL COME AT OUR OUR WORKSHOP IN APRIL OR OUR REGULAR MEETING IN APRIL.

WE PLAN ON PRESENTING THE INFORMATION ITEM AT THE WORKSHOP MEETING AND THEN AND THEN WE WILL WORK TOWARDS TOWARDS WHEN DO WE WHAT WHAT MONTH DO WE APPROVE? IS THAT JUNE. WE WILL WE ADOPT IN JUNE? YES, WE ADOPT IN JUNE. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. PARK? OKAY. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. PARK. OKAY, MOVING ON TO OUR DISCUSSION AND ACTION PORTION OF THE MEETING.

[10. DISCUSSION/ACTION]

[01:25:01]

IN GENERAL, REAL ESTATE SERVICES FOR CARROLL ISD NOT LIMITED TO 801 SHADY OAKS DRIVE, SOUTHLAKE OR.

THIS IS MORE FOR DURHAM. SO TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF THE HEAD OF THE AHEAD OF THE CURVE ON THIS.

SO WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE TIME FRAME FOR THIS? WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET IT OUT AND WHEN IS IT GOING TO CLOSE. WELL WE GET THIS DONE. IT WILL ADVERTISE IT FOR 2 WEEKS.

OUR PLAN WITH DOCTOR GLENN IS TO LET ME. YEAH.

LET ME SPEAK TO THAT JUST FOR A SECOND. SO SO THE RFQ IS, IS WE LOOK FOR BROKER SERVICES, EVERYTHING WE DO WITH THE SALE OF LAND, WE WANT TO BE AS TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE.

SELLING GOVERNMENTAL SURPLUS PROPERTY IS AS YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH THIS, IT'S IT'S TIME CONSUMING AND AND THERE'S A LOT OF STEPS THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE TO LEGALLY BE ABLE TO SELL PROPERTY.

SO THE FIRST THING THAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE WANT TO DO AN RFQ FOR BROKER SERVICES.

THE DURHAM PROPERTY IS ABOUT 30 ACRES. AND SO THAT'S A LARGE VERY VALUABLE PIECE OF PROPERTY.

AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT IT OUT ON THE MARKET.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT IT OUT ON THE MARKET MORE THAN THE REQUIRED 2 WEEKS.

RIGHT. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO WELL BEYOND THAT THRESHOLD.

BUT FOR THESE BROKER SERVICES WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS POSTING IT FOR THREE WEEKS, SEEING WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN TRYING TO WORK WITH THE DISTRICT TO SELL THIS PROPERTY.

ONCE WE GET THOSE RFQS BACK, WHAT WE WILL LIKELY BRING YOU IS A DECLARATION TO SELL SURPLUS PROPERTY AT THE TIME WHERE YOU DECLARE THE DURHAM PROPERTY SURPLUS. WE'LL ALSO ASK YOU IN THAT RESOLUTION TO TO ASSIGN IT TO A BROKER.

THEN IT'LL POST THE REQUIRED TIME, PROBABLY OVER THE REQUIRED TIME, VERY SIMILAR TO HOW THIS WAS DONE.

AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW ANY AND ALL BIDS AND AND ACCEPT A BID OR REJECT ANY AND ALL BIDS.

IF YOU DON'T FEEL THAT YOU'VE BEEN OFFERED A PRICE THAT YOU BELIEVE IS FAIR.

BY LAW, YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE A PRICE THAT IS OVER MARKET VALUE.

YOU CANNOT ACCEPT A BID BELOW MARKET VALUE. BUT BUT IF YOU GET ONE THAT IS OVER MARKET VALUE THAT YOU BELIEVE IS FAIR, YOU'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSIDER THAT.

ONCE IT'S BEEN DECLARED SURPLUS AND SELL IT. AND THEN AS WE'VE DISCUSSED, WE'LL PUT THOSE MONIES INTO A HIGH YIELD ACCOUNT AND TRY AND USE IT TO GENERATE REVENUE.

THE REASON WE ARE DOING THIS EARLY IS BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO TAKE ABOUT A YEAR, RIGHT? WE HAVE 2 PIECES OF PROPERTY THAT ARE UNDER CONTRACT RIGHT NOW.

WE KNOW THAT AS WE WORK WITH THE CITY, IT JUST TAKES TIME.

AND SO WHOEVER BUYS THIS IS LIKELY GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF SECURING IT WITH THE CITY.

MR. MOONEY, WILL YOU GIVE THE BOARD AN UPDATE ON THE WHERE WE STAND WITH THE PROPERTY BEHIND THIS BUILDING AND ALSO THIS THIS PROPERTY? YEAH, THE THE PROPERTY BEHIND US, WE CALL IT THE OLD DRAGON STADIUM PROPERTY.

I WENT BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE LAST WEEK.

IT WAS APPROVED FOR A PLAT REVISION. A, AS YOU CAN SEE, A SPECIAL PERMIT USE AND VARIANCES.

ALL THAT WAS APPROVED NEXT WEEK. I GO BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL TO HAVE THAT APPROVED.

SO AT THAT TIME, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CLOSING.

WE ARE HAGGLING A LITTLE BIT WITH THE CELL TOWER, WITH THAT CELL.

BUT BESIDES THAT, THAT'S READY TO GO. OSIS 1101 CARROLL.

I'M I'M IN CONSTANT CONTACT CONTACT WITH TOUCHMARK.

PROBABLY 2 OF THE LAST 3 DAYS I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THEM.

THEY THEY DID A COMPLETE REDRAW OF ALL THEIR DRAWINGS.

SO WHERE THEY THOUGHT THEY WAS GOING TO GO TO P&Z IN MARCH, HE TOLD ME, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE MAY.

NOW, IF THEY GO IN MAY, THE EARLIEST THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO THE COUNCIL IS IN JUNE.

THE CITY HAS SOME OFF TIMES IN THERE. SO IF THEY MISS THOSE TIMES IT'S GOING TO SLIDE BACK AND SLIDE BACK.

AND WE'RE GOING TO. YEAH. WELL THEY MISS JULY. THEY DON'T HAVE A MEETING IN JULY SO THEY NEED TO HIT THE JUNE. THE JUNE.

MIKE AND I TALKED ABOUT THAT RECENTLY. IF HE MISSES THAT THEN WE'RE GETTING TO THAT ONE YEAR, 13 MONTH PERIOD THAT WE MAY BE LOOKING AT. THEY'RE STILL VERY POSITIVE ABOUT MOVING FORWARD ON IT.

I KNOW THEY'RE DOING SOME ANALYSIS ON SOME THINGS BECAUSE THEIR MECHANIC PROPERTY, BUT THEY SEEM VERY, VERY POSITIVE WAY IT IS. SO, MR. RAINEY, IS THERE A REASON THAT THEY GAVE FOR REDRAWING EVERYTHING? SOME OF IT HAD TO DO WITH ANALYTICS OF WHAT THEY'RE THERE.

WHAT? THEY'RE MCKINNEY PROPERTY. MOST OF IT WAS.

I WAS WITH THE CEO WHEN WE WHEN WE WALKED THROUGH IT IN DECEMBER.

AND LIKE CEOS DO, HE WANTED HE WANTED IT FACING A DIFFERENT STREET AND THIS AND THAT.

AND, AND THERE'S JUST SOME THINGS THAT HAVE THAT HE WANTED OR THE, THEIR COMMITTEES WANTED JUST TO BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

GOTCHA. THANK YOU. ANYTHING FOR MR. MOONEY? OKAY.

[01:30:06]

ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS 10.2. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF LOCAL BOARD POLICY CHANGES.

MR.. NICOLE. PRESIDENT, BRYAN. DOCTOR GLENN AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

I'M HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION SOME BOARD POLICY UPDATES THAT WERE RECOMMENDED TO US BY TEA.

THESE ARE THE SAME POLICY UPDATES THAT I SHARE WITH YOU THE LAST TIME WE MET.

I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. THERE ARE 11 POLICIES ALTOGETHER.

THE 1ST ONE I'M GOING TO LOOK AT WILL BE BOARD POLICY.

THIS IS A POLICY THAT IS INFORMED BY SENATE BILL 12 AND 1173.

AND THIS LEGISLATION DOES NOT REQUIRE BUT IT DOES PERMIT FOR AN INCREASE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT SPENDING AUTHORITY TO $100,000.

I'LL GO AHEAD AND GO DOWN TO CL IS INFORMED BY SENATE BILL 8.

AND THIS IS THE BILL THAT IS KNOWN AS THE BATHROOM BILL.

THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE DRAWN UP SIGNS TO POST IN LOCKER ROOMS. BASED ON THE THE NEW PROVISIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY OF THE OPPOSITE GENDER GOING INTO A GENDER SPECIFIC LOCKER ROOM OR BATHROOM.

AND SO THIS JUST OUTLINES THE EXCEPTIONS IN WHICH THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE AS FAR AS MAINTENANCE, CUSTODIAL, OR IF WE HAVE LIKE TEAM MEETINGS, THINGS THAT NEED TO TAKE PLACE IN THOSE LOCATIONS.

I'M GOING TO SKIP DOWN TO FFG. FFG IS A STUDENT WELFARE, CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT.

THIS MAKES SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE WAY WE REPORT MISCONDUCT.

AND IT TALKS ABOUT IMPROPER STUDENT TEACHER RELATIONSHIP, EXPLICITLY REPORTABLE.

IT ALSO TALKS ABOUT THE TIMELINE IS REDUCED FROM 48 HOURS TO 24 HOURS AS FAR AS THE MANDATORY REPORTING.

AND IT EXPRESSLY NAMES LIKE STUDENT TEACHERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES AS BEING MANDATORY REPORTERS TALKS ABOUT ALSO THE PROCESS BY WHICH WE NOTIFY OUR OUR PARENTS IN PUBLIC.

AND THEN THE LAST ONE THAT I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS POLICY FDA.

THIS HAS TO DO WITH OUR INTERDISTRICT TRANSFERS.

AND THIS IS LANGUAGE THAT I THINK EXISTED AT ONE POINT.

I'M NOT SURE AT WHAT POINT IN SOME ITERATION OF POLICY THAT THAT IT CHANGED.

BUT THIS IS ALREADY HOW WE'RE, HOW WE'RE DOING THINGS IN PRACTICE.

THIS TALKS ABOUT IF WE HAVE A, A STUDENT WHO IS IN DISTRICT AND THEY BECOME A NON-DISTRICT STUDENT, THEY MOVE OUT AND THEY ARE A JUNIOR THAT THEIR SENIOR YEAR.

WE DON'T COMPEL THEM TO HAVE TO TO LEAVE THE DISTRICT IF THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN HERE DURING THAT TIME.

IT ALSO ALLOWS THEM TO FINISH THE SEMESTER THAT THEY ARE THEY'RE CURRENTLY IN.

AND SO IF IT'S A FRESHMAN AND THEY MOVE OUT OF DISTRICT AND, YOU KNOW, JANUARY, WE DON'T TELL THEM, THEY IMMEDIATELY HAVE TO LEAVE. THEY CAN FINISH OUT THE SEMESTER THEY'RE A PART OF. ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, MR. NICHOL. I KNOW YOU WENT THROUGH ALL OF THESE POLICIES AT OUR LAST MEETING, AND I APPRECIATE YOU HIGHLIGHTING A FEW OF THESE THAT ARE ALL OF THEM ARE IMPORTANT, BUT THESE ARE PROBABLY MORE 3 OR 4 OF THE MORE IMPORTANT ONES.

SO I APPRECIATE APPRECIATE YOU DOING THAT. AND WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. NICHOL. OKAY. TRUSTEE YEAGER, I MOVE THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE LOCAL POLICY CHANGES AS PRESENTED BY MR. NICHOL. SECOND MOTION AND SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. THANK YOU, MR. NICHOL.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO OUR LAST AGENDA ITEM, WHICH IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[11. CONSENT AGENDA]

PRESIDENT BRYAN, AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AT MANY MEETINGS THIS COMMUNITY, THE EXCELLENCE THAT WE HAVE IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT IS NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE GENEROSITY OF OUR COMMUNITY, IN PARTICULAR, THE PARENTS THAT SUPPORT THE STUDENTS IN THE PROGRAMS. SO IT'S WITH GREAT JOY THAT I SHARE SOME OF THESE DONATIONS FROM THE SPECIAL PROGRAMS, PTO GENEROUS DONATION OF $5,000 FROM THE AP BOOSTERS. A GENEROUS DONATION OF $6,210 $6,210 FROM THE DAWSON MIDDLE SCHOOL PTSO, A GENEROUS IN-KIND DONATION OF $11,421 FROM THE DURHAM INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL PTO, A GENEROUS DONATION OF $7,444 IN-KIND DOLLARS FROM THE CARROLL ATHLETIC BOOSTER CLUB, A GENEROUS DONATION OF $3,800 FROM THE DRAGON CHEER BOOSTER CLUB.

[01:35:04]

IN-KIND DONATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN FROM I THINK IT'S JANUARY 2024 CALENDAR YEAR THROUGH THIS YEAR.

SO THAT'S 2 YEARS. THIS IS GOING BACK JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW IN OUR IN OUR EFFORTS TO BE TRANSPARENT THAT BETWEEN THE TRADITION CLUB, THE JOHNSON ELEMENTARY, AND WALNUT GROVE ELEMENTARY, WE HAVE HAD AN INCREDIBLE DONATION TALLY OF IN-KIND $978,785. AND THAT JUST TELLS YOU AGAIN WHAT TYPE OF GENEROSITY WE HAVE.

I KNOW MANY PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD ARE PART OF BOOSTER CLUBS.

BUT IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS, THIS HAS ALL BEEN POSTED.

AND THANK YOU TO THE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

YEAH. THANK YOU, TRUSTEE YEAGER, FOR MAKING THAT ANNOUNCEMENT.

AND IT IS A IT IS AMAZING. OUR DISTRICT COULD NOT RUN WITHOUT THE GENEROSITY OF THIS COMMUNITY.

AND WE APPRECIATE OUR COMMUNITY AND THE INVESTMENT THEY PUT IN OUR STUDENTS IN THIS DISTRICT EVERY DAY.

VERY MUCH. SO I MOVE TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0.
